For tailored support, our UK Investment Launchpad service fast-tracks your set up with expert legal advice and project management.

Investment launchpad

We dedicate considerable time and resources into building strong and deep relationships with our network of independent law firms around the world, known as our Preferred Firm Network – a carefully curated network that enables us to deliver a flexible, tailor-made, high quality and seamless global service.

Our network is non-exclusive and consists of a select group of law firms from around the world, who share our values and offer deep sector expertise, while providing excellent advice and service at a fair price in their jurisdictions.

We only work with firms and individuals who have the highest levels of legal and sector expertise, managing any conflicts and ensuring price competitiveness. Our flexible model means that if you prefer, we can also work with your existing local counsel contacts.

We regularly coordinate international legal advice, providing project management across multiple jurisdictions through a single point of contact. We have a streamlined, consistent ‘one-firm’ approach that includes a single retainer and billing arrangement.

Our in-depth knowledge of these firms and their local legal markets, means that we regularly make impartial recommendations on local law firms for our clients to instruct directly, based on practical experience of working with them. Above all, our independence and investment in nurturing this network, ensures we can find and work with the right firm for your matter, every time.
