UK
The law firm with a passion for people.

HCR Law is an award-winning, top 60 UK law firm providing legal services to organisations, business leaders, and individuals. With 10 offices across England and Wales, HCR supports clients nationally, and internationally through strategic partners and its international headquarters in the City of London.


In recent years, HCR has experienced significant growth through strategic mergers and organic expansion, relocating many offices to prime city-centre locations. In 2024, specialist regulatory lawyers Ridouts Solicitors joined the firm’s Healthcare sector, complementing HCR’s healthcare team.


HCR Law offers expertise across various sectors, with dedicated specialist lawyers. These sectors are Agriculture, Environment and Estates, Charities and Not-For-Profit, Defence and Security, Education, Financial Services, Healthcare, Local Government and Public Sector, Private Wealth, Sports, Media and Entertainment, and Technology.


The firm’s Corporate service team consistently ranks among the top three dealmakers for mergers and acquisitions in all its regions – in August 2024 HCR was ranked first in the UK

HCR's private client services support clients with the moments that matter from protecting assets to planning for the future. This year, the firm expanded its ‘Unified in Separation’ offering, providing clients immediate access to alternative dispute resolution, including a unique one-couple-one-lawyer approach to divorce. This expertise was recognised with the ‘Private Client Team of the Year’ award in June 2024.


HCR Law’s international recognition is bolstered by its alliance with LawExchange International, an independent association of law firms serving clients in major commercial markets globally. Through their shared passion for people and a successful history of working together, HCR announced a collaboration with Spanish firm Tribeca.


HCR’s commitment to people extends beyond recruitment. The firm nurtures its talent and actively supports the next generation of legal professionals, seeking to recruit from diverse and under-represented groups.
