North America

Working closely with carefully selected, leading law firms across the United States, Canada and other North American jurisdictions, we build teams around the needs of each client, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. This enables us to bring together the right legal and sector expertise for each matter to deliver the best outcome. We are also a trusted referral partner to US and Canadian law firms, advising their clients on inbound and cross-border matters.

We have substantial expertise in insurance, advising insurers, reinsurers, brokers and managing agents on complex cross-border disputes, coverage, regulatory issues, and claims. Where matters require local advice, we work closely with trusted counsel to provide coordinated support across jurisdictions.

Our technology, media and entertainment practice supports clients ranging from high-growth technology businesses and digital platforms to gaming, esports, media and content organisations. We advise on the most complex commercial, regulatory, intellectual property and disputes matters, as well as issues arising at the intersection of technology, data, AI and digital transformation.

Our consumer brands & retail team advises businesses navigating international growth, supply chains, brand protection, product liability, commercial contracts and regulatory change. We work with both established global brands and fast-growing challenger businesses expanding into the markets of North America and beyond.

Our corporate practice is long-established in the region, with our teams advising North American organisations on mergers and acquisitions in the UK, Europe and other territories. Our experts have extensive experience of transatlantic and other cross-border transactions, and a thorough understanding of the complexities of doing business internationally, and the different cultural and commercial nuances that can shape a deal.

We also advise financial institutions, fintech businesses and professional services firms on regulatory, commercial, technology, data, investigations, and disputes matters.

Through our integrated international network, our clients benefit from coordinated cross-border advice, access to leading local specialists and a single point of contact – delivering practical, commercially focused solutions wherever business takes them.
