We are specialists in English and Welsh law. Some of our lawyers are qualified to advise in other jurisdictions (see Duncan Macintosh) although we don’t claim to advise across the board on other countries’ laws.
But we have a strong team of associates based all over the world who we trust enough to refer you to. They can give you the legal advice you need, wherever it is you need it.
UK
Our Scottish associates, CCW LLP, are an extension of our team. Almost identical to us in size, business areas and culture, we rely on CCW to give our clients the best advice and support on their Scottish legal issues.
