International work and travel

Beyond London, we have offices in Paris, Brussels and Hong Kong. We also have close working relationships with the leading independent law firms in the world's major countries. This is known as our "Best Friends" approach. 

The international nature of our work means that our trainees and associates have the opportunity to work abroad, either in our overseas offices or on secondment with other independent law firms.
