CM Murray LLP, regarded by clients as the ‘best partnership boutique in England,’ stands out for its robust offering, which covers both contentious, non-contentious, and advisory services. The group’s breadth of expertise, alongside its cross-border capabilities, makes it a popular choice for clients from the financial services, legal, and private equity sectors. Sarah Chilton co-heads the practice alongside Zulon Begum; Chilton is noted for her aptitude at handling contentious mandates, including disputes and investigations related to wrongdoing, misconduct, and discrimination. Begum is sought after for her experience advising on non-contentious matters ranging from international structuring and mergers to team moves and exits. Another key name in the team is Clare Murray, who is adept at leading on whistleblowing complaints and litigation regarding bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct. On the compliance and regulatory front, Corinne Staves and Andrew Pavlovic are the primary contacts. The department also includes Beth Hale.
