About the Company

Who We Are
We’re legal and financial advisors with a difference, based in 26 UK locations and with an international presence as members of First Law International.

Giving the best possible advice is about more than knowledge and expertise. It means understanding the people and businesses you work with as deeply as possible. It means taking the time to listen to what matters most to you. It’s what we call ‘the expert hand with human touch’. We’re a full-service law firm, which means whatever advice you need, we can help.

Personal
We all need legal or financial advice at some point in our personal lives. It can help us through some of our key milestones – buying a house, getting married, planning retirement, providing for your kids’ future, or moving to a new country.

It’s also vital when things don’t go according to plan - if you’re hurt in an accident, a medical procedure goes wrong, a loved one loses mental capacity, or you’re treated unfairly by work or the government. It could also be a difficult family matter such as a separation or a dispute over a Will.

Legal advice can give us peace of mind for the future, whether that’s with a new Will, a power of attorney, or a solid financial plan. Whatever your situation, we have specialists ready to help. We’ll listen to you and get you the best possible outcome.

Business
Our lawyers are more than just problem-solvers. We’re your long-term strategic advisors. We’ll work with you and your teams to give practical, commercially-minded advice tailored to your goals and targets. Our solicitors truly understand your sector and the market pressures you face, and can offer comprehensive insight and support.

We can advise and represent you in any area of law. You can rest assured that you’re getting one integrated plan that takes all your legal needs into account.

We’re also the UK partner of First Law International, an elite global network of law firms, and can help you access world-class legal advice around the world.
