International Business Lawyers in London
Faegre & Benson is an international law firm which offers an integrated team of more than 525 lawyers worldwide. We have been well known in the UK business community for two decades, serving the full range of English business law needs for domestic and multinational clients.
In 2003 we strengthened our capabilities in London by merging with respected City of London firm Hobson Audley, thereby consolidating our long-term multinational partnership with that firm, and now practise in London as Faegre & Benson LLP.
Our focus in our London office is on legal solutions for business clients in corporate finance, business litigation, intellectual property, information technology, employment, and commercial property.
As our clients expand around the globe, we have the depth to help them enter and establish operations in international markets.
These capabilities are common at many large law firms. But whether you work with our lawyers in London, Frankfurt, Shanghai, or the U.S., you will find we share the same valuable attribute — a culture that is uniquely team-oriented and client-focused.
Teamwork
To our clients, teamwork means we are highly efficient in our delivery and highly responsive and accessible in our service. To us, teamwork translates to specific promises to our clients and each other:
- Having a partner on every client team who bears ultimate responsibility for your satisfaction;
- Assigning the right people to every matter based on who will serve you best;
- Keeping the same people on client teams whenever possible to leverage their knowledge of you and your business;
- Sharing knowledge among our team so everyone is familiar with your needs.
You can expect this commitment
everywhere you work with us. We like to think of this as giving clients the best of both worlds — the quality you expect and client service that is
more than you expect.
