This commercial law firm in central London provides a wide range of high-calibre services for domestic and international businesses, notably in company and commercial work, property and litigation, as well as employment and landlord and tenant issues.
The firm: The practice was formed in 1994 by three of the current partners, all of whom had successful careers at premier commercial firms. It has expanded significantly and can assist clients across the full range of commercial disciplines, providing a quality of service unusual in a firm of its size. Growth has come almost entirely through client recommendation. The firm does not seek expansion for its own sake and promotes almost entirely from within. Its current size is ten partners.
The practice has rapidly developed a reputation as one of London’s most dynamic and entrepreneurial firms. Its culture is energetic, proactive and results-focused. Clients range from entrepreneurial start-ups to international corporations in sectors as diverse as retail, sport, estate agency, accountancy, financial services, property development, film production and interior design. In a tribute to the firm’s effectiveness, from time to time it is hired by clients whom it opposes. In the transactional sector, it often handles matters of a size and type associated with much larger firms.
