Our clients include large multinationals, public companies, charities, owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurs. We have significant experience in the resources/exploration and hotel and hospitality sectors, and handle a volume of work for non UK based clients.

Where necessary, we are able to draw upon a large pool of expertise from other practice areas within the firm, such as property, employment law and insolvency/corporate restructuring, in order to provide clients with practical, commercial solutions, tailored to meet their specific needs.
