Legal Services

Corporate

Corporate work covers a wide range of scenarios each one often requiring a high level of expertise in a number of different areas of law. Our corporate team can provide that level of expertise, both in their own area of law and by working closely with colleagues in other departments. A combination of such skills can be crucial in more complex transactions where our commercial approach and legal expertise can be used to understand and negotiate the issues that arise so as to ensure a satisfactory and successful outcome for our clients.

Our wide range of experience gives us a good understanding of the perspectives and aims of all participants in commercial transactions and we are fully aware of the need for a flexible, practical and commercial approach.

Although Davenport Lyons is based in the West End the majority of our team have joined Davenport Lyons from well-established City law firms such as Freshfields, Herbert Smith and Berwin Leighton Paisner. Consequently it is very much our aim to provide a City-type service at a competitive price.

Davenport Lyons is ideally placed to advise and guide clients through these turbulent times. From across our departments we have lawyers who will work with you to take advantage of these new opportunities. Click here for more information.
