We provide a wide reaching international service to our clients through our close working relationships with leading independent law firms around and world and through our alliance with the IAG network.

Our reputation is of durability and reliability, combined with innovative applications of modern technology. We are flexible about everything except the professional and ethical standards which we maintain rigorously and with the confidence of our good name. This is reflected in the Law Society's practice management accreditation, "Lexcel" which we have held since 2001.
Different sectors can, and frequently, do have very different legal needs and issues. It is a clear case of 'one size not fitting all'.
We are recognised as one of the leading regional firms in advising private clients on a broad range of issues relating to estates and private property, tax planning and family matters.
The law surrounding business, industry and commerce is complex and is the subject of frequent, and sometimes radical, change.
