Shoosmiths : For What Matters

Shoosmiths is a law firm clients choose for excellent service, incisive thinking and above all for our ability to focus on what matters.


From offices across the UK and Brussels, the firm supports some of the world’s most exciting and ambitious businesses; amazing clients making an impact.

Shoosmiths empowers its people to be their authentic selves and deliver together in supportive teams committed to excellence and innovation. The firm has won prestigious industry awards, such as ‘ UK Law Firm of the Year – Large sized firm’ at the British Legal Awards 2023, ‘Legal Team of the Year’ at the Estates Gazette Awards 2022 and has been recognised for being the most active law firm advising on corporate transactions across the UK (Experian, 2023).


Shoosmiths’ innovative approach is also embodied in their non-legal solutions for clients, which complement its technical legal expertise.

The firm also believes in supporting the communities in which it operates, and it is firmly on its ESG journey, with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validating near-term science-based emissions reduction targets, and launching grant-making body ‘The Shoosmiths Foundation’.

The Shoosmiths client experience. Focused on what matters to you.


International

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.

We act for multi-national businesses and organisations, investment funds, scaling tech businesses, international property developers, retail chains, and others, advising them across a range of services.

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