Europe

With English law governing many international contracts, transactions and disputes, our UK offices provide a natural hub for European and cross-border matters. Whether supporting UK clients doing business across Europe, international clients investing into or operating in the UK, we provide a seamless connection between UK expertise and the wider European market. From Western Europe and the Nordics to Central & Eastern Europe, we help clients navigate opportunities, manage risk and access the right expertise across the region.

Our European work reflects the sectors in which we have the greatest depth of expertise and where our clients are most internationally active. We advise insurers and financial institutions, technology, media and entertainment businesses, consumer brands and retailers, and professional services firms on matters spanning corporate and M&A, commercial contracts, disputes, employment, intellectual property, data and cyber, competition and regulatory issues. We support clients investing and expanding across Europe, managing multi-jurisdictional operations and workforces, responding to regulatory change and resolving complex cross-border disputes.

We act as a hub for matters requiring expertise across multiple European jurisdictions, giving clients a single point of coordination. Through our own capabilities and longstanding relationships with leading independent firms across Western Europe, the Nordics, Ireland and Central & Eastern Europe, we build the right team for each matter. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all international footprint, we select local advisers according to the jurisdiction, sector and legal issue – giving clients access to genuine local knowledge and best-in-class expertise.

Whether a matter involves English law, a single European jurisdiction or multiple markets across the region, we provide a consistent point of contact and an integrated approach – connecting clients with the right expertise, in the right place, at the right time.
