Who We Are

Founded in 1971 and based in London's West End, we are recognised in the legal press and the wider industry as leaders across a range of practice areas. From our civil liberties and criminal roots in Soho to the full-service law firm that we are today, our empathy and tenacity have always set us apart. We represent individuals and organisations - from people needing a trusted adviser to protect their rights and interests, to start-up businesses looking for professional guidance as they step up to the next level, to substantial businesses as they expand both in the UK and internationally. We represent those with dynamic ideas, from technology companies raising funding to advising family offices and leading challenger banks. When we take on a matter, we're all in. From inception to completion, you can expect us to remain steadfast by your side and fight hard for you. Since we began, our values and principles have remained at the core of our firm, as has the Death Penalty Project, the charity we founded and continue to support. As well as seeking the best possible outcomes for clients, we ensure that we demonstrate our commitment to the values that matter to us. Those values impact all aspects of our business: from our lawyers and support staff to our clients, and all the relationships we build with the wider community.
