About our Holborn Gate office
Our London office sits in Holborn Gate, central to the courts, regulatory bodies and corporate centres that matter to cross-border transactions, disputes and regulatory matters. The location supports close practical engagement with courts in London and specialist tribunals, and convenient access for international visitors arriving for meetings or hearings.
Practice focus and how we can help
Services provided from the London office cover corporate and commercial transactions, dispute resolution, regulatory and compliance matters, real estate and employment law in England and Wales. When working with international clients we prioritise:
- Initial risk profiling and jurisdiction analysis for transactions and disputes.
- Co-ordinated multi-jurisdictional project management with local counsel where required.
- Practical delivery of pre-action strategy, interim relief applications and enforcement options available in England and Wales.
How to instruct the firm — practical checklist
To make initial engagement efficient, consider the following checklist before contacting the London team:
- Prepare a succinct summary of the matter (max 2 pages) identifying parties, relevant dates and the desired outcome.
- Gather key documents: contracts, correspondence, board minutes, court papers or regulatory notices.
- Identify the applicable governing law and dispute resolution clause, and any relevant foreign jurisdiction or enforcement concerns.
- Confirm immediate deadlines (hearing dates, limitation periods, statutory deadlines).
- Indicate any preferred communication and billing arrangements and whether you require confidentiality safeguards or data transfer agreements.
Jurisdiction and sources
For matters in England and Wales, primary official sources include:
- GOV.UK — government guidance and procedural information.
- legislation.gov.uk — Acts of Parliament and statutory instruments.
- Ministry of Justice and Judiciary of England and Wales — court structures and practice directions.
- Companies House — corporate filings and public company information.
- ACAS — employment dispute resolution and guidance.
If a matter involves Scotland or Northern Ireland, specific procedural and substantive differences will apply and should be addressed separately with local specialist counsel.
