gunnercooke LLP > Firm Profile

gunnercooke is one of the UK’s fastest growing law firms, providing a wide range of corporate and commercial legal services to businesses, banks and financial institutions. The firm’s model allows its lawyers to spend time building strong relationships with clients, so they can find opportunities to add extra value to their work. 

The firm: gunnercooke was founded in 2010, on a business model led by insight directly from businesses. The firm held discussions with business owners, leaders and CEOs about what it was they didn’t like about how their legal services were delivered.  Responses were consistent.  Clients wanted: 

• Transparency and certainty over costs 
• Senior, authoritative lawyers to deliver the service 
• Commercial and trusted advisors 

gunnercooke was founded on the basis that all of its lawyers would provide seniority by requiring them to have a client-focused approach and at least 10,000 hours’ practising experience. Of the firm’s lawyers, 90% have worked in-house, meaning they have strong commercial awareness and are equipped to advise high-net-worth clients and large businesses. gunnercooke lawyers operate on a fixed-fee basis, meaning work is scoped out from the outset and cost certainty is guaranteed. 

As a result, all clients have access to trusted advisors who have a breadth of experience and knowledge, enabling them to work on all matters from straightforward transactions to complicated cases that require complex solutions. And because all of gunnercooke‘s partners are senior lawyers, they can draw on each other when a clients’ requirements fall outside of their practice area and work to each other’s strengths. 

gunnercooke is now an established corporate and commercial law firm.  In 2019, the year after being named ‘Law firm of the Year- Large’ at the Law Society Excellence Awards, gunnercooke was given the overall Business Culture Achievement Gold Award at the Business Culture Awards.  The firm has also been shortlisted for two National Business Awards which will be announced in November of 2019.  

Types of work undertaken: gunnercooke‘s practice areas are constantly expanding. The firm is particularly well known for its work in corporate and M&A, employment, commercial, dispute resolution, family law, business crime, restructuring and business growth, pensions, private client, banking and finance and real estate.
