Practice areas

Our success has been built on a unique business model. Unlike many of our competitors, we don’t try to be all things to all people. Although we offer a full range of commercial legal services, we only offer them across four industry sectors. And in these four specialist sectors, we’re easily the equal of any other law firm, anywhere in the world. No wonder: the excellence of our reputation is matched by the excellence of our client list.

The advantages of our approach are, we believe, manifest. We offer our clients an unparalleled understanding of their industry, their issues and the relevant legislation. And we offer our lawyers the opportunity to become experts in their fields, and acknowledged as such throughout our industry.

The four sectors we focus on are:

  • Energy, Transport & Infrastructure;
  • Financial Institutions;
  • Real Estate & Retail;
  • Technology, Media & Telecoms.

We have nine legal departments. You’ll spend a six-month seat within four of them during your training period, where you’ll work with some of the very best lawyers in these sectors, and on some of the most important deals in the market.

These are our departments:

  • Banking & Finance;
  • Corporate;
  • Dispute Resolution;
  • Employment & Pensions;
  • Energy, Infrastructure & Project Finance;
  • EC & Competition;
  • Real Estate;
  • Tax;
  • Technology, Media & Telecoms.
