To meet their unique needs we are exceptionally collaborative, working together across teams and time zones. And we are agile – focusing on strategy rather than rigid ideas and traditional hierarchy.
Join us to be part of a team that is always looking to the future. Where initiative, big ideas and bold moves are always encouraged. Where you can truly be yourself.
The Department
Most large firms have a corporate department that provides a broad range of legal advice on corporate issues. What makes our team different is that we provide a unique combination of corporate experience that is framed by our reputation for world leading wealth planning advice across the US, Europe and Asia.
That means that each member of our team has a deep understanding of the personal and commercial issues that impact our clients and how they interact. It is this specific blend of expertise that allows us to offer a unique perspective and individual service.
We frequently act as outside general counsel, advising on all legal aspects of day-to-day operations, deal flow and shareholder relations. Clients range from successful families and entrepreneurs to their businesses and wealth management structures and the institutions investing in them. We cover numerous sectors with a particular focus on luxury brands, sports & entertainment, retail, hotels and leisure.
