Humphreys Law > Firm Profile
We are a focused, full-service law firm advising clients in the technology and media sectors.
Our lawyers have decades of combined experience advising on transactions, projects and disputes.
We pride ourselves on providing pragmatic, crystal-clear advice rooted in the context of the underlying commercials.
A great deal of what we do has an international dimension.
Rather than operating overseas branch offices, we maintain informal relationships with similarly-independent overseas firms in all the major jurisdictions and beyond.
We have a small office in Brussels and in Dublin so that our lawyers who are dual qualified in England & Wales and then Ireland and/or Belgium can have post-Brexit access to the European Courts.
