Our Commitment to Diversity

Our London office is located in the modern iconic premises of One New Change in the heart of the city of London.

The office is well known for providing integrated legal teams to address the particular needs of a client, whether a complex global transaction, a corporate investigation, or a major dispute resolution exercise. One of our key integrated services is our global boardroom risk offering, which covers all aspects of legal, regulatory, and compliance risk or any combination of risks that can affect an organization and its board. We work with clients on matters ranging from fraud and corruption to employment and workplace safety, as well as from corporate governance to competition issues and cyber risks. We also advise on regulatory and criminal investigations and insurance coverage issues. Our Insurance Recovery and Counseling team also has extensive experience representing policyholders in presenting and pursuing claims against the London insurance market and beyond.

Our London office provides comprehensive, international, domestic, and cross-border advice across a broad range of areas. On the transactional side, we have extensive experience in corporate, commercial, mergers and acquisitions, and capital markets transactions. Our real estate experience covers investment, acquisitions and dispositions, development, construction, project finance, tax, planning and environmental issues, leasing, property management, property holding restructuring, financing, and dispute resolution. Our Finance lawyers advise banks and borrowers on all aspects of mainstream lending, structured finance, commercial real estate financing, and restructuring transactions. We also have a dedicated Aviation team with experience representing airlines, financial institutions, and leasing companies around the globe.

Our Intellectual Property team works on a wide range of commercial, regulatory, and intellectual property matters, particularly in the technology, sports, consumer products, luxury, and gambling sectors. Our Asset Management and Investment Funds practice advises on the organization and day-to-day operation of a range of investment funds and fund managers. On the Litigation and Dispute Resolution side, our team has the depth of experience and the capability to deal with even the most complex and difficult engagements efficiently and cost effectively. We manage cases in the English courts and all major arbitral forums with a leading International Arbitration practice. We handle white-collar defense work and corporate crime matters, and undertake proceedings before regulatory and administrative bodies. In addition, we provide advice on all EU and UK competition laws and represent clients’ interests before the European Commission.

Much of the advice we provide from London involves a combination of the above areas, bespoke to the needs of our clients and the particular matter in hand.
