Businesses

We act for a wide range of businesses, from publicly-quoted companies including major retail chains and property development companies to professional and creative partnerships and startups across a range of sectors. We also offer cross-border legal support for companies and individuals doing international business. Through our membership in the LEGUS global network, we have extensive international contacts around the world.

Technical expertise is a must but not the only component; our lawyers combine their legal expertise with flexibility, commercial instinct, and determination to manage your needs through to a successful outcome.

In today’s complex business environment, many legal problems refuse to fit neatly into the narrow internal constructs of law firm departments. As a full-service law firm, Russell-Cooke offers in-depth expertise across a range of areas. Our specialist solicitors are experienced in working together across the firm to provide a seamless service to clients, meaning you can continue to deal with a single point of contact whilst being confident you are receiving the necessary expert advice.
