Defining Capabilities:

Major litigation

From managing risk to fighting in court and arbitral tribunals to navigating investigations, we protect and advance your interests as you safeguard your core assets and competitive advantage.

We handle business-critical and often groundbreaking disputes from their start through to resolution. We find the issues that decide the case early. We build the arguments. We prepare you for trial, and appeals—across U.S. federal and state courts, U.K. and European courts, international tribunals, and arbitral forums.

Multinationals, leading public and private companies, financial institutions, professional services firms, boards and special committees, executives, public figures, and other individuals turn to us for their most challenging matters—those involving significant financial and reputational risk, intense media and public scrutiny, and the need for innovative, decisive strategies and advocacy.

We are built for this. Whatever the issue. Whatever the forum.

Strategic IP

Working with IP-rich businesses, we protect, scale, and defend ideas with a holistic IP offering.

Whether it's patent, copyright, or trademark protection, or serving as lead trial counsel in all-or-nothing cases, we are ready to tackle any IP issue head-on.

Our Intellectual Property Practice is one of the largest and most active in the world—combining a market-leading U.S. IP litigation capability with one of Europe’s most highly regarded IP teams, creating a genuinely integrated transatlantic practice spanning patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, brand, advertising, and trade secrets across the U.S., U.K., Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

We offer a multidimensional IP service—featuring litigation, prosecution, and transactional and strategic counsel—enabling you to develop a coherent, globally coordinated IP strategy managed from a single platform. We are particularly active in life sciences, technology, semiconductors, media and entertainment, and luxury goods.

A single trusted IP partner. For every issue. Across your entire portfolio.

Critical transactions

We help you grow—at the speed and scale of your ambition, across markets and sectors.

As you grow domestically and across borders, we will go where your ambition leads. For your most significant transactions, we bring deep local knowledge paired with seamless global execution.

From early-stage venture funding to significant growth investments, private equity, M&A, finance, real estate, and capital markets, we are where our clients need us, when they need us.

When the transaction defines the future of your business, you need a firm that moves when you do. All-in, plugged into your world, and with you in your breakthrough moments. That is exactly what we deliver.

Critical transactions define businesses. They're the moments that set the direction of travel—and determine how far, how fast, and on whose terms you grow.

Your ambition drives the deal. We make sure it closes.

Private wealth

We are a single, fully integrated Private Wealth Practice built for the world's most complex wealth challenges.

From founders and family offices to multi-generational dynastic estates, we act as a trusted, discreet partner across the entire wealth life cycle—creation, structuring, preservation, and transition. We also provide strategic advice on the deployment of wealth. For many of our international clients, we serve as a de facto outsourced legal family office.

Our credentials speak for themselves: we have advised more than 155 families with wealth exceeding USD1B, eight royal families, and approximately 350 individuals and families worth over USD100M—with total combined client assets estimated at over USD2T. We have navigated asset planning across more than 90 jurisdictions worldwide.

Multi-jurisdictional complexity is our baseline. We proactively anticipate shifts in geopolitics, tax regimes, and regulation— keeping our clients ahead of change and opening doors they didn't know were there.

No jurisdiction too complex. No generation too distant. No challenge beyond our reach.
