The Firm
This firm has achieved rapid expansion/ year-on-year growth owed almost entirely to a focused strategy, strong leadership and the quality of its people.
Their global practice spans their offices in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and North America and delivers consistently high levels of service across borders and locally through a deep understanding of their markets and sectors.
Although they are one of the leading International and UK firms, they have never lost their culture and have received many Employer, Development and Investor accolades, notably being named in Top Employer for Women awards a record-breaking number of times.
With many offices around the world, the firm has seen rapid expansion over the years in terms of the size and geography and is noted as one of the most adept and key powerhouses in the sectors they operate. They are incredibly highly regarded within the transport and energy sectors.
This firm attracts key individuals from the top City and International firms, which could be attributed to so many factors. Often, it is the genuine opportunity to progress that attracts such key figures in the industry.
Combining this with the firm's notoriety in both Chambers and Legal 500 (and their international reputation) makes them a unique proposition.
