Welcome to our multinational family

Working with us, you’ll have the support of a multinational business. We combine scale and geographical reach with the simplicity of working with a well-connected partner: a consistent firmwide proposition with a small firm feel.

Three questions you’re unlikely to see on another professional services business’s website:

These are tough questions – but ones we weren’t afraid to ask to understand what makes us unique and what will provide us with long-term, sustainable success. The answers have led us to transform from an expertise-based law firm into a purpose-led, professional services business with law at the core.

The approach is bold and forward-thinking, but that’s what’s been engrained into our firm since 1769. We know change on this scale won’t happen overnight, this is a journey – one we’d like you, our other clients, people, peers, suppliers, and communities to join us on.
