Our global network


Most of our work has a cross-border element, so thinking globally will become second nature to you.


You’ll find our offices across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Our international expansion, driven particularly by emerging markets and globalisation, is a hallmark of our recent development. In 2009 we opened our newest office in


Madrid, bringing in a team of highly regarded lawyers from another major firm. We continue to invest heavily in our presence in the Middle East and Moscow. We’ve enhanced our global service through binding arrangements with other leading law firms. These include our alliance with Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe in Europe, and associations with other leading law firms in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Our global network means we can offer


international placements that are unrivalled in scope and experience and we encourage every lawyer in our London office to undertake an international secondment during their career. We value fluency in Arabic, Cantonese, French, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian or Spanish but more important still is clarity of thought and strong communication skills.


Veronica Roberts – Partner The third seat of my training contract was in our Brussels office, where I worked in the EU competition group. That experience really inspired my love of EU competition law and I qualified into that group. I’ve worked for different periods of time in both the London and Brussels offices. The firm invests hugely in career development and I think I’m a good example of that.
