Practice Areas

Agriculture & rural issues

It is unsurprising that some of the country's strongest agricultural law practices are to be found in rural regions.

Banking & finance

Sponsored by Milbank LLP. Banking and finance involves many financial products, from bank loans to companies to highly structured financing arrangements across multiple jurisdictions.

Charities

Sponsored by Wrigleys Solicitors LLP. Lawyers advising the charitable, not-for-profit, and social enterprise sector cover a vast area of legal ground.

Commercial property/real estate

Sponsored by Mills & Reeve LLP. Commercial property lawyers work on a wide range of transactions including offices, retail developments and infrastructure projects.

Competition & EU law

Competition and regulatory work includes merger control, regulatory and court proceedings, issues arising from sector-specific regulation and utility procurement issues.

Sponsored by Charles Russell Speechlys LLP. Contentious construction work involves the resolution of disputes while non-contentious work involves drafting and negotiating contracts and advising on projects.

Corporate finance/mergers & acquisitions

Sponsored by Baker McKenzie. Corporate M&A involves the combining of companies or assets through mergers, where two companies combine to form a new entity, or acquisitions, where one company takes over another.

Corporate tax

Virtually all commercial transactions have tax implications. Tax is thus an important practice area for any major law firm.

Defamation/reputation management

In this area of legal practice, clients generally fall into two categories: the rich or famous and the media.

Dispute resolution

Sponsored by RPC. Commercial litigators represent and advise commercial clients when disputes arise from joint venture projects, civil fraud, commercial and banking transactions, corporate governance, financial services regulation and professional negligence.

Employment, pensions & incentives

Employment lawyers work across all areas of employment law, including handling discrimination complaints, staff restructuring and whistleblowing issues.

Energy & natural resources

The energy sector is an important part of the legal landscape and is making more headlines than ever before.

Environment

Sponsored by Osborne Clarke LLP. Issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change, the demand for global sustainability and the need for alternative energy sources make environmental laws more important than ever.

Family/matrimonial

Family lawyers deal with diverse issues including marriage, civil partnerships, cohabitation, separation, divorce, financial claims and pre and post-nuptial agreements.

Financial services

Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, the covid-19 pandemic and various financial scandals, there is always lots going on in this area.

Fraud

This is a fascinating field of practice suited to those with a nose for forensic detail.

Housing/landlord & tenant

Sponsored by Trowers & Hamlins LLP. Relationships between the owners and occupiers of properties, both residential and commercial, can be fraught with problems.

Immigration

Immigration lawyers deal with all legal matters relating to immigration and nationality.

Insolvency/restructuring

Media & entertainment

Among the different types of client in this area are performers, managers and agents, artists, theatres, broadcasters and publishers.

Outsourcing

Outsourcing has grown increasingly more prevalent in the public and private sectors since it emerged in the 1980s.

Personal injury

Personal injury law falls under the law of tort and involves civil claims brought to obtain compensation for injuries.

Private client
