Offering a well-developed, full-service platform which offers consistent quality across numerous practice areas and sectors, the London office fulfils a significant role as the law firm's central hub within its diverse global network. The team advises on some of the biggest and most complex cross-border deals in the market. On 1st May 2024, Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling merged to form A&O Shearman.
Driven by a combination of transactional strength and a regulatory focus, the firm`s deep commitment to the life sciences sector is primarily embodied by its highly capable IP practice.
