Family Business

Balancing legacy. Building continuity.
We work with families who own and run businesses, helping them manage the intersection of family, ownership and enterprise. From governance and succession planning to restructuring and dispute resolution, we support families at every stage of their business journey.

As an independent London firm with deep roots in private capital, we bring legal precision, commercial perspective and personal understanding to each instruction. Our clients rely on us to guide transitions smoothly – structuring ownership, safeguarding relationships and preparing for the future with foresight and care. The guidance we provide gives you the confidence to plan ahead. 

 

A joined-up view 

 

Family businesses are complex ecosystems where personal, financial and operational priorities intersect. We look at the full picture: the people, the enterprise, and the legacy they create together.  

 

Our lawyers work collaboratively across corporate, tax, private client and employment disciplines so that every decision made for the business aligns with the family’s long-term vision. Many of those whom we advise have trusted us for generations – including entrepreneurs whose family firms have evolved into global brands and successors now shaping their own future. 

 

Quiet strength. Lasting relationships. 

 

Our approach is measured and personal. We take time to understand what matters most – commercially, emotionally and reputationally – before shaping the right path forward. We act early and thoughtfully to protect family harmony and business value, resolving issues constructively and avoiding conflict where possible. The result is advice that promotes stability, clarity and continuity. 

 

As a certified B Corporation, we are committed to balancing people, purpose and profit – helping families build sustainable businesses that endure across generations. 

 

Three-dimensional advice 

 

Drawing on our domestic expertise, trusted international network and more than a century of experience, we make decisions with complete perspective – legal, commercial, and personal. We look beyond the immediate challenge to anticipate how today’s actions will shape tomorrow’s opportunities, ensuring your family and business are protected, aligned and prepared for what comes next. 

 

Collaborative in approach. Committed in purpose. Connected where it matters most.
