About this office:

The firm's largest market presence is in London, where Reed Smith has nearly 300 lawyers serving international and domestic clients. The firm specialises in all aspects of English law involving trade, litigation and commercial concerns.

Our lawyers undertake all forms of inward investment to the United Kingdom, as well as matters arising with business concerns overseas. Two-thirds of our work has a cross-border dimension and our clients range from the largest Fortune 500 companies to SMEs positioning themselves for stock exchange listings. One unique aspect is our especially strong reputation for advising clients for whom the UK is either not a headquarters or a traditional business centre.

Domestically, we are a major player bringing media, transportation and finance specialisms to the fore, both for UK clients and foreign companies requiring cutting-edge advice on their investments and dealings in the UK marketplace.

Please contact the Managing Partner for our London office Richard Swinburn on +44 (0)20 7772 5887 to learn more about the legal capabilities of our London office.
