Addleshaw Goddard

Addleshaw Goddard boasts one of the largest dedicated commercial contracts practices in the UK. Supported by teams across Manchester, Leeds, and Scotland, the London office handles a vast range of mandates, many of which are distinct from their corporate deal flow. The group advises a diverse and impressive range of clients, including a notable number of FTSE 100 companies, on the full range of commercial contract activity, including procurement, joint ventures, outsourcing, and distribution agreements. Adding to its strength in the retail and consumer sector, epitomised by long-standing partnerships with major retailers and FMCG conglomerates, the team remains a key player in high-value outsourcing and payment services arrangements, with key clients including leading domestic and international financial institutions. Leeds-based Michael Lowry heads the practice group. The London office acts as an important hub of work in this sector, with Damon Rosamond-Lanzetta and Andrew Carter, who focuses on the transport sector, leading on significant mandates. Oliver Millerchip continues to develop a practice in the retail and consumer space.
