• Global employers are a major area of focus for the firm.  We have one the largest and most highly rated employment law teams in the UK.  We are also the sole UK member of the ius laboris international alliance, a position which allows us to co-ordinate global employment law projects for some of the world’s largest employers. 
• We have an equally strong focus on working with clients in the creative industries, providing complete coverage of their legal needs through the full life-cycle of the business from start-up to full market listing. 
• Our third key area of focus is urban regeneration and mixed-use development.  We have been field leaders in social housing for more than two decades and have spent recent years blending this expertise with our real estate, construction and planning expertise to provide a completely integrated approach to the legal issues created by the improvement of the UK’s built environment.

As an employer we place an unusually high emphasis on workplace engagement, having been listed four years running in the Sunday Times’ top 100 companies to work for. In 2012 we are the most highly placed law firm in that list. We believe this rather more human approach to be of real benefit to our clients as well as to our colleagues. Clients often tell us that they find our people refreshing and enjoyable to work with.
