Why Eversheds Sutherland
Strength of a full-service firm. When our clients need a comprehensive approach, our corporate attorneys draw on the extensive knowledge of their colleagues in other practice areas, including tax, intellectual property, real estate, antitrust, executive compensation, employee benefits and litigation. We cultivate a collaborative approach in order to meet all of our clients’ needs in an efficient, proactive and thorough way.
Sophisticated understanding. Our Derivatives and Structured Products practice expanded in response to clients’ demands for sophisticated and market-sensitive advice. We are at the forefront of the derivatives markets, particularly on issues related to the changing regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act.
Signature experience. While we work with clients in many different industries, our depth is especially strong with energy, financial services, banking and financial institutions.
Range. We regularly represent clients in mergers & acquisitions, international trade, derivatives and structured products, private capital, securities and corporate governance, outsourcing and e-commerce. We advise businesses on everything from transformative transactions to finance to everyday corporate governance matters and representation of boards of directors.
Global reach. We represent a diverse group of international corporations on a range of issues, including investments by U.S. companies abroad and by foreign companies in the United States, as well as in resolving trade disputes. We advise clients on how U.S. laws, including export control law, antitrust law and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, provide extensive regulation of international business.
Tailored approach. We work with clients to meet all of their business needs, whatever those needs may be. We can work as an extension of legal departments, as retained corporate counsel, co-counsel or in whatever configuration the situation requires.
In-house and regulatory experience. Many of our lawyers have served within in-house legal departments and regulatory agencies, including at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, providing valuable perspective to our clients.
