Practice areas

We are ranked by the legal directories, year after year, as the City law firm that has the highest percentage of highly recommended individual lawyers. This consistency of quality, which covers all areas relevant to corporate advice and M&A, is achieved by pursuing an absolute commitment to excellence in everything we do.

We have a history of maintaining long term, successful relationships with our corporate clients. We achieve this by investing significant time in understanding their ambitions and concerns as well as those of their owners and employees. We develop our knowledge of their businesses and find out what they want from their legal advisers and how they want it to be delivered. This investment enables us to provide advice which really adds value and a legal service which is tailored to their needs, not our preferences.

We are regularly involved in the largest, and most complex, cross-border M&A transactions. In addition to validating our position as a pre-eminent corporate legal adviser in the City, this is an endorsement of our model of working alongside the world's leading independent law firms and lawyers. For each transaction, in conjunction with our client, we are able to select the right firms and individual lawyers for the job. Never one size fits all - because it rarely does.
