If required, we can swiftly put together a cross-departmental team to ensure your dispute is managed in a holistic manner. We advise UK and international clients on all types of disputes including commercial, corporate, commercial and residential landlord and tenant, sport, contentious Wills and probate, sports law, and employment. We are committed to ensuring a resolution is reached as quickly and cost-effectively as possible and will use alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration where appropriate. Our disputes resolution team can also advise on litigation funding. 

Employment: Our specialist employment law solicitors advise employers from a wide range of sectors, including hospitality, luxury brands and technology to name but a few. We specialise in complex director service contracts, HR policies, redundancy and rightsizing, and Employment Tribunal claims. 

Data protection and privacy: As the world becomes increasingly digital, data protection and privacy law are gaining complexity. We can advise you on UK and EU GDPR as well as US privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act 2018. Our team will provide the advice you need on matters such as data transfers and privacy breaches to ensure your organisation’s reputation and commercial interests are protected and you meet your compliance requirements. 

Business immigration and recruitment: We are committed to supporting your business in getting the international talent it needs to grow and prosper. From applying for a UK Sponsor Licence, to managing Home Office compliance requirements, our business immigration team will help you seamlessly embed complex legal processes and procedures into your existing business practices. We can also take the resource draining process of managing a potential recruit’s Skilled Worker Visa application, freeing up your HR team to focus on other projects. 

Private client: Acting for HNW individuals and families, our private client team is results focused and will ensure you achieve peace of mind regarding matters relating to succession planning, estate planning, trusts, Wills, and Lasting Powers of Attorney. Our private client solicitors focus on building long-term relationships and often advise several generations of the same family. 

Digital assets and blockchain: We have advised clients on various asset classes and the relationships that govern them for decades. Digital assets and blockchain is simply an extension of our considerable expertise in digital strategies. We advise UK and international clients on smart contracts and licensing, DAOs, brand protection and enforcement, compliance and data security, regulatory compliance, tax matters, and jurisdictional issues. 

ESG: We provide an intimate, bespoke service designed to match your company’s values and vision. Our ESG solicitors have the agility and time required to truly get to know your business and/or investment strategy. We do not simply deliver check-box solutions. Instead, we deep dive into understanding your commercial ambitions and risk profile. Working with an experienced partner lead, you can be confident that we can support you in developing a robust ESG framework and provide comprehensive, practical advice on the opportunities and risks associated with specific projects.
