As we build our global presence, we remain committed to maintaining regional practices around the world where we do great work for longstanding clients.

We offer clients an extensive range of legal services through the following seven global practice groups: Corporate (including tax); Employment, Pensions and Benefits; Finance and Projects; Litigation and Regulatory; Real Estate; Restructuring; and Intellectual Property and Technology. Moreover we are a market-leader in the Energy sector and are committed to developing a sustainable business related to environmental and carbon markets. We have an established global Carbon Markets Group. This is a multidisciplinary team of practitioners with experience in providing legal advice on climate change and emissions trading issues. Our team provides advice to a number of large energy intensive companies, carbon trusts, financial institutions and developers of emission reduction projects.
