We are an international legal practice with approximately 5000 staff, including some 450 partners working in 24 major centres worldwide.
Our clients are at the heart of our vision. Our proposition to clients rests on five themes.
Expert knowledge
We constantly deepen the technical and legal skills of our lawyers. This specialisation helps us to innovate and to meet the increasing sophistication of our markets. It drives up efficiency, offering our clients better value.
Mirroring clients
Every client is unique. We strive to know our clients better and to understand their businesses, strategies, internal structures and people. With this knowledge we place our advice and work for each client in the context of its special circumstances.
Managing risk and developing opportunity
We advise the most demanding clients in the world, engaged in the most complex and innovative work. We have a unique view of the markets and this enables us to manage risks and develop opportunities for our clients.
Integrating across our practice
We collaborate across all our offices and practices to deliver our services to uniformly high standards, in a well rehearsed manner and for a competitive price.
Professionalism
We are a profession first and a business second. We believe we will always have a strategic advantage if we focus on the highest professional standards, are conscious of the tensions between professionalism and the world of commerce and are clear where our priorities lie.
