Fox Williams has a pre-eminent position for partnership work. Our partnership law group has advised numerous professional firms on the implications of converting to limited liability partnership structure. We have excellent credentials in advising international law firms on the establishment and development of their London offices. The Legal Services Act 2007 (the "LSA") is set to transform the UK legal market, creating opportunities for law firms to seek private and public investment together with the possibility of alternative business structures that involve third party ownership for the first time. We are advising a number of law firms on how they may exploit the opportunities and protect themselves against the threats that reform will bring. Working with PR firm Byfield Consultancy, Fox Williams recently commissioned the Big Bang report: Opportunities and Threats in the New Legal Services Market which examines in detail the impact of the LSA. Reading is strongly recommended for those who operate, or have an interest, in the UK legal market. Click here to view a copy. Finally, our practical experience in negotiating skills often help clients to avoid litigation. Where there is no alternative, we represent clients in courts and tribunals. Our team includes lawyers trained in advocacy and mediation.
