Founded in 1937, Mishcon de Reya is a law firm with offices in London and New York offering a wide range of legal services to companies and individuals. We are committed to achieving our clients' objectives in the most practical and cost effective way and always provide our clients with a clear return on their investment.
Our clients are dynamic and sophisticated and we reflect that in our belief in challenging the conventional or accepted ways of working. We like to solve problems quickly. To achieve this consistently, we employ a diverse collection of talented people, from varied backgrounds with differing perspectives, who are capable of addressing issues in a collaborative, non-hierarchical environment. By looking at a problem from every angle, we can then apply our expertise confidently and decisively.
In every area of the law that we operate, Mishcon de Reya prides itself in providing a best in class service to its clients. Specifically we offer the following services: corporate; dispute resolution; employment; family; private client; and real estate.
An entrepreneurial spirit - where candour and involvement are key - characterises our ability to develop and execute the strategies required to achieve our clients' goals in all these areas.
Mishcon de Reya New York LLP is headed by James J. McGuire and is a bespoke litigation practice, with a specific focus on white collar criminal and complex commercial litigation, including regulatory and international arbitration.
We have extensive international expertise; a large part of our business is in advising on multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes. We remain independent, but have established links with overseas practices to best serve our clients' needs.
Our departments:
Business
The privilege of sitting alongside our clients as their trusted advisor is something we value highly. We believe that our client relationships should extend beyond the simple facilitation of a transaction, to encompass the role of business advisor, and being part of a deal-making team.
Dispute Resolution
Disputes are, by their very nature, distracting and, for most of us, stressful. The obvious solution is to solve them as quickly as possible. The law can be a complex beast and otherwise rational people can be consumed by emotion in the midst of a dispute.
Our approach is simple: give clear, dispassionate advice from the start. Part of this common sense thinking is addressing anxiety about costs, which is why we've developed MISHCON PROTECT®, a unique funding and insurance package to keep risk to a minimum.
Mishcon Private
Dealing with an individual, a family business or a family office requires an understanding that sometimes the seemingly small things can be the most critical. We offer all the legal services an individual may need, ranging from asset protection to immigration and from probate and succession to reputation management.
Real Estate
Our Real Estate Group provides specialist practices that enable us to offer clients a genuine one-stop shop for property services. Our clients benefit from the close relationship between the contentious and non-contentious experts in the practice. We facilitate deals by bringing people, financial investment and opportunities together via our extensive network of contacts.
