London Office

Our London office was established in 1981, and has grown into a broad English law practice offering a wide range of business and commercial services, as well as US legal services. The office works closely with our other offices in Europe, the United States, and Asia to service the needs of our clients in the UK and internationally.

We also advise on investment funds and private equity transactions, and growth businesses, including venture capital.
