Our sectors
We advise clients in the retail, fashion, luxury, fast-moving consumer and household goods sectors. These areas change constantly, driven by new regulations and advances in data, delivery, digital cash and social media. Our lawyers make it their business to know what’s happening now and what’s around the corner, so clients stay several steps ahead of their competitors.
We have over 450 energy specialists around the world, and we’ve been globally recognised leaders in the field for more than 30 years. Our experience spans the oil, gas, power and renewables industries. Together with our connections across governments and leading academic institutions, we’re driving thought leadership in an area that’s vital to the future prosperity and wellbeing of the world.
We’re proud to have leading practices in the UK’s biggest financial services centres – London and Edinburgh. At both, our lawyers advise and inspire corporates, financial institutions, investment funds and managers, as well as pension trustees, insolvency practitioners and debt advisers. Changing regulations and advances in areas like FinTech and Blockchain are creating opportunities for our lawyers to enjoy fast-moving careers as they anticipate trends and keep clients ahead of the curve.

Few sectors matter more to people’s everyday lives. Our specialists around the world have the expertise to help clients of every size, from start-ups to global pharmaceutical companies, achieve their goals. We support independent operators, investors, funders, advisers and the NHS as they develop the innovative services the sector depends on.
