United Kingdom

From our office in the heart of London’s world-renowned financial district, our UK- and U.S.-qualified lawyers work with clients on complex, cross-border transactions helping them to grow their business and manage risk. We handle some of the world’s largest cross-border transactions and resolve some of the biggest disputes across multiple jurisdictions.

Based in the thriving financial hub of the City, we have deep roots in the tech sector, and we have a strong understanding of the intersection of law and technology. We advise dynamic tech companies on strategic matters that are shaping the future of technology.

Working alongside our colleagues in the United States and Asia, we draw on cultural, jurisdictional, and market knowledge to deliver the best tailored advice and client service with a global approach. We know that each client has a unique set of circumstances and requirements and so we listen, advise, and communicate in a way that works for each client, using their language, not ours.

Our clients include:

• Technology companies
• Financial investors and institutions
• Private equity houses
• Leading consumer product companies
• Real estate companies
• Market leaders in their fields

Our achievements have not gone unnoticed. Our lawyers are considered among the leading legal authorities in their areas and are regularly recognized in rankings by independent publications such as Chambers, Legal 500 and Best Lawyers.
