Key Practice Areas

Every day is as diverse as the work we offer.

The extent of our global footprint brings an enviable portfolio of clients – often leaders in their field. This means our lawyers have far more opportunity to challenge themselves on the most complex international cross-border deals.

It means you'll have the consistent strength of a top-notch global network, and access to extensive global knowledge in the core areas of: capital markets; corporate and M&A; finance and banking; real estate; tax, pensions and employment; and litigation and dispute resolution.

What's more, our work allocation system means you won't be tied to one partner: instead, you will have exposure to many different types of work, with a range of partners, on a range of deals.
