Unique amongst UK international law firms in having top-tier dispute resolution and corporate capabilities, Herbert Smith LLP is acknowledged as one of the world's leading legal practices.

Established in London in 1882, we now have more than 1,200 lawyers across a network of offices in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Our main clients are leading global and national businesses, many headquartered outside the UK.

Our international offering to clients is enhanced by our Alliance with leading European law firms Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe and by associations with Al-Ghazzawi Professional Association in Saudi Arabia and Hiswara Bunjamin & Tandjung in Indonesia. We also have established relationships with other leading law firms in jurisdictions where we do not have a presence.

Alongside our outstanding reputation in dispute resolution and corporate work, we have leading practices in finance, real estate, competition and employment, pensions and incentives. We are also acknowledged as leaders in a number of industry sectors, including the energy and natural resources and financial institutions sectors.

The breadth of our practice, our technical and commercial expertise and the consistently high quality of our broader service are all factors cited by our clients when they choose Herbert Smith to advise them on their most complex disputes, transactions and projects.
