We value getting close to you and frequently conduct long-term and short-term secondments with our retail clients, both virtual and physical, to get to the heart of your challenges.

How we work
In retail, complex, bespoke solutions need to be delivered with speed and simplicity. Any business that is constantly evolving needs its lawyers to be equally flexible and forward thinking. A detailed knowledge of the retail sector is key. We have found that combining that knowledge with a thorough understanding of our clients' individual business requirements has contributed to the right commercial outcomes. We're proud to have been accredited as Best Legal Adviser by Legal Week eight years in a row, coming top overall out of all law firms in both 2015 and 2013.
