Turning local expertise into global impact

We are a UK-founded law firm with a global outlook. We work across sectors, borders and time zones to make complex deals feel effortless. Our lawyers are fluent in the pace and expectations of global business—fast, focused and outcome-driven. Whether advising on international M&A, regulatory frameworks or employment law, we bring commercial clarity and legal precision to every matter.

With offices across the UK and a presence in Brussels, we support clients navigating cross-border transactions, multi-jurisdictional disputes, and international compliance. Our membership in the World Services Group (WSG) and strong relationships with trusted partner firms worldwide allow us to deliver seamless legal support wherever you operate.

We guide clients through UK law with a focus on accessibility and alignment with business goals. Our approach is proactive, not reactive—anticipating challenges, spotting opportunities, and delivering advice that’s grounded in commercial reality.

International work isn’t an add-on at Shoosmiths, it’s embedded in how we think, collaborate & deliver.

Delivering seamless legal excellence, wherever opportunity takes you.
