Who we are

We’re a law firm that works like a legal solutions firm: standardising where we can, bringing in specialists where it counts.

For recurring questions, we create fixed-fee products. For complex matters, we bring together specialists who have handled a similar case or project before. You don’t pay us to reinvent the wheel.

We use AI for what it does well: legal research, document analysis and first drafts. A person makes the final call, because you’re the one who ultimately signs off.
Expertise

The four main areas

Corporate law

Everything to do with the business itself: acquisitions, shareholder relations, contracts, finance and property. From the first round to the exit.

Employment law and works councils

Everything to do with the people in the business: reorganisations, dismissals, long-term sickness, collective agreement talks, works council procedures and the issues you would rather not have to ring about.

Litigation

For when talking stops working. We litigate before the courts, the Enterprise Chamber, in arbitration and all the way to the European Court of Justice. And we know when you are better off settling.

ESG and sustainability legislation

The legislation set to change how you run your business more than any other in the coming years. Reporting, supply chain responsibility, and what you can and cannot claim about your sustainability.
Price

You know the cost before we start

Billing by the hour is not a law of nature here. Where we can scope the work, we quote up front and work to a fixed price, a cap or sometimes a success fee. For ongoing work we agree an annual arrangement: legal as a service.

We can do that because much of the routine work is automated. Efficiency that only helps us is not efficiency.

And if you do get an hourly rate, you will hear why beforehand.
Our team

Stick to what you know

15+ lawyers and legal advisers, each with their own specialism. You get the specialist round the table, not a generalist doing it on the side.
