Much of our work has an international aspect to it; whether this be advising international clients on their inward investment into the UK, advising UK based clients on their outbound work, or multi-nationals on multi-jurisdiction projects.
We act for multi-national businesses and organisations, investment funds, scaling tech businesses, international property developers, retail chains, and others, advising them across a range of services.
Doing business in the UK
Doing business in the UK for the first time is exciting but can be complex. We advise clients on their inward investment into the UK, we are experienced in handling cross-border M&A and joint ventures, acting for corporates, institutions, and funders of all kinds in their inward investment strategies and transactions.
In addition to advising businesses on their UK market entry, we also advise international law firms. We work alongside US and European firms based in London who benefit from our ability to provide deep ranging sector knowledge, and experience acting as co-counsel.
Our non-legal offering Shoosmiths EIGHT Connected Services is comprised of solutions that fit alongside our legal advice. Combining the latest technology with Shoosmiths’ passion for giving you a great client experience, our 8 Connected Services give you access to new solutions you need through the advisers you know and trust.
