We are not just a UK firm with offices in Europe. We are a European law firm at our core. In addition to our UK, China and Silicon Valley presence we have offices in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Spain.
Across all our offices and jurisdictions are market-leading practices in corporate/M&A, finance, real estate, energy and natural resources, technology and life sciences. We are growing fast. With 1,800 people across 25 offices in 13 countries you might expect an impersonal office culture but you will find a homely, family feel even in the largest offices. Regular treats in the kitchens, monthly office buffet lunches and weekly drinks on the terrace to throw everyone together.
We compete against the best, counting as clients large corporations including major technology firms, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, energy suppliers, infrastructure companies, global banks and financial institutions. Collaboration is not just something we talk about in our Values statement (although it is one of our Values). Our approach with clients is to work with them not just for them, maintaining a constant dialogue, tailoring our services to their needs and integrating cutting-edge legal technologies into our advice where we can - but only where we think it adds value.
We do our best to do our best. This means showing commitment to our communities and showing up for people who are not as fortunate as we are. We listen, with kindness and empathy and act accordingly. Sustainability, inclusion, equity – you can sign up to one of our many pro bono projects or to join one of our active affinity groups. You are the engine that powers this work and we want you to get involved.
