Professional services
When it comes to advising the advisers, we lead the field.
With unparalleled experience advising law firms, accountancies and other professional services firms, we provide both legal expertise and practical business advice.
Law firms
We’re often known as “the lawyer’s lawyers” - over half of the top 30 UK firms, numerous global US-headquartered firms and many other leading and boutique firms rely on us. Our team can support you with employment and immigration issues, LLP and partnership disputes and agreements, governance and remuneration structures, strategic projects and transactions, data privacy, SRA matters, IT software contracts, and headquarter moves. We also have extensive experience of conducting sensitive investigations for leading names in the sector.
Accountancy firms
With extensive experience of advising major accountancy firms, we can advise you on matters relating to LLPs and partnerships, key strategic and constitutional matters (including drafting and revising of LLP and Partnership Agreements), employment and immigration, governance structures (including Audit Regulations compliance), profit sharing models, business protections (including restrictive covenants), third party investments and transactions, and headquarter moves.
Other professional services firms
Our clients include global management consultancies, professional bodies, recruitment firms, architects, surveyors, property consultancies and other professional services firms. Based on our experience and industry insights, we offer practical advice on admission and expulsion of partners, investigations into partner misconduct, advice on governance and strategic issues, practice acquisition, employee management, dispute resolution, and headquarter moves.
Transactional support for US law firms
Many US law firms trust us to advise their clients in our specialist areas, in particular on the employment, tax and IP aspects of M&A deals. We work alongside a firm’s deal teams - in the background if required - to ensure that they’re offering a seamless and consistently high-quality service to clients. In addition, we can provide support with ongoing advisory matters, such as post-completion integration.
