Legal Advisors

Speechly Bircham is a City-based law firm with a strong focus on personal service. Over 200 lawyers provide transactional, advisory and dispute resolution services across six main practice areas: Construction & Engineering; Corporate; Employment; Intellectual Property, Technology & Commercial; Real Estate and Private Client.

Our commercial clients include UK and international listed companies, banks, financial institutions, funds, professional services organisations, entrepreneurs and privately owned businesses. Our highly regarded private client practice looks after the interests of private individuals, families and trusts.

We provide advice for both UK and international clients doing business around the world. This often involves managing and co-ordinating international projects involving professional advisers in a range of jurisdictions. In many cases we will assist in the selection of overseas lawyers to be appointed from the firm’s network of preferred law firms. This is a long-standing informal network of firms with whom we work and share the same professional standards and service values.

We make it our business to understand fully how our clients operate, fostering long term relationships and providing an exceptional combination of commercial knowledge and legal expertise to achieve desired goals. Whilst our teams have knowledge spanning numerous business sectors, we also have three cross-practice sector groups focusing on the needs of financial services, healthcare and technology organisations.

Practical advice and impeccable service delivered by partner-led teams lie at the heart of our offering. Our approach means clients get a personal and tailored service from a team which consists of partners and fee earners with specialist skills, some with in-house experience as our lawyers are often seconded to clients. We provide bespoke in-house training for many clients and intermediaries.
