We are a contemporary London law firm, rooted in tradition with a lasting legacy of client service. Founded in 1780, we recognise the long-standing relationships we have with our clients and how they have helped shape our past and provide a platform for our future.
With 76 partners supported by over 300 lawyers and support staff, we operate on a four practice group model: private client, business services, real estate and dispute resolution.
Our driving force is to empower our clients by providing quality legal advice, insight and intelligence that enables them to achieve their goals whether personal or business. We are large enough to advise on the most complex matters, but small enough to ensure that our people and our work remain exceptional and dynamic.
Building relationships is at the heart of everything we do.
A Bill appears to be quietly making its way through Parliament
to prevent pubs and local independent shop from being used for a
supermarket and for connected purposes (which currently does not
require planning permission).
The change if it is enacted will mean that planning permission
will be required for such changes. Will we see the saving local
pubs and local butchers and bakers or will it just result in more
empty premises in retail areas?
The second reading of the Bill is due to take place on 26
October 2012.
