United Kingdom
Our roots in the UK may trace back to 1769, yet we are still recognised as one of the most forward-looking and innovative organisations in the country.
In recent years we have been named the Most Innovative Law Firm in Europe by the Financial Times and Law Firm of the Year by both Legal Business and Legal Week. We have more Tier 1 rankings in the Legal 500 UK than any other firm.
We have more PLC clients than any other law firm with offices in all three UK jurisdictions (England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland).
We have built a team in the UK that reflects our values: our people are approachable, bold and connected.
Our clients tell us that this makes our advisers different. Our connections to our clients' sectors enable our people to develop deeper client relationships - and more innovative and impactful legal solutions as a result.
We operate in the following locations:
