The Shoosmiths client experience. Focused on what matters to you.
Much of our work has an international aspect to it; whether this be advising international clients on their inward investment into the UK, advising UK based clients on their outbound work, or multi-nationals on multi-jurisdiction projects.

In addition, our Brussels office advises clients on EU competition, regulatory and trade law.
