Leveraging the resources of practitioners in key regional business centres as well as a growing presence in some important European and Middle East offices, the ‘commercially aware’ London-based team at Addleshaw Goddard is well-positioned to advise on both mid-market domestic work, and an increasing volume of larger cross-border mandates. Much of the increased levels of international work is driven by a heightened focus on funds, where Karl Clowry and Scott Morrison, the latter who joined from Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe (UK) LLP in August 2024, both excel. The practice also maintains excellent relationships with clearing banks and IPs, with ’practical and pragmatic’ team head Fraser Ritson and the ‘committed’ Anna Hodgson both very skilled at guiding these clients through domestic situations, in particular. Leeds-based Andy Bates heads up the national practice.
