multi-jurisdictional estates.
Corporate
Our lawyers focus on providing solutions for our clients to
enable them to operate their businesses successfully, whether they
are starting a new business or managing a multi-national family
business. We routinely advise our clients on a range of matters
from general commercial agreements and M&As to commercial
taxes, litigation and employment law.
Our clients are drawn from a wide range of industries, but there
is an emphasis on investment funds and commodities trading (from
regulatory issues to structuring), family businesses and the
hotels/leisure sector. Many of our clients have an international
focus and we advise on cross-border transactions and on structuring
inward bound investments.

Clients rarely choose to get involved in disputes, but
inevitably sometimes things go wrong and it is essential to find a
solution quickly and effectively. Our teams advise on commercial,
property and construction, trusts & estates disputes and arts
disputes and are noted for their practical approach to sorting out
problems.
