Our corporate practice has expanded significantly in the last few years. That growth was boosted by the arrival of Victoria Symons, a senior corporate partner from Boodle Hatfield. We advise all types of client, from single entrepreneurs in start-up situations, to family businesses and multinational global corporations. We appreciate that different clients value different services and we pride ourselves on having a team which is flexible, proactive and responds appropriately to client demands.

We are particularly well versed in dealing with property transactions using all forms of corporate "wrappers" and regularly act on large multi-party, multi-jurisdictional corporate transactions. We advise frequently on inward investment into the UK and are well versed in the issues that may arise for off shore trustees and other off shore clients. The team also has significant industry sector expertise in the hotels and leisure sector.

Within our extensive network of contacts, we have chosen a wide network of international law firms with whom we work regularly to provide a seamless cross border service for our clients.
