We offer a partner-led service backed up by the strength and support of more than 1,000 people, each delivering first-class legal advice. This is why our people are trusted advisers to multi-national businesses, financial institutions and government departments.

These organisations will not compromise on quality, and neither will we. Excellent technicians who care about the service they provide; our people are the reason clients come back for more.

How we can help you

Single team

Every organisation needs something to be famous for. Our distinctiveness lies in our ability to work as a single team. Standing alongside clients, colleagues or best friend international contacts, we have one goal - excellent advice and service. Your success is our success.

"They always look at the big picture and they'll point out things that we were not even realising ourselves."
FTSE 100 general counsel

Only by investing time: getting to know you, how you like to work and how we can help, can we provide the best possible service. We build relationships that last - standing in your shoes to understand your business, markets, objectives, legal needs and the way you like to work.

Transparent and flexible billing, regular reports and ongoing communication ensure there are no nasty surprises. Every year we do more than 50 client service reviews to check we are meeting expectations and constantly improving.

Award-winning creative thinking

Clients are facing pressures of global competition, more regulation, rising prices and environmental challenges. They want ideas and solutions from lawyers who can help them make things happen.

We're always up for challenging the status quo. It's in our blood and it is how we got here today. By constantly asking 'how can we do this better/more quickly/differently?', we have been ranked by the Financial Times as one of Europe's 50 most innovative law firms for five consecutive years.

With a series of 'firsts' under its belt, the Healthcare team responded to the challenge of creating an innovative franchise model for the East of England Strategic Health Authority. This work, together with its reputation in the sector helped the team to victory at the 2011 Health Investor Awards.

Antitrust partner Bernardine Adkins made history by becoming the first solicitor to take a competition matter from dawn raid to Competition Appeal Tribunal. Her team won and was named Litigation and Regulatory team of the Year at the British Legal Awards.

The Employment team recaptured The Lawyer's Employment Team of the Year award (last won in 2009) for some creative and practical advice on one of the biggest issues facing local authorities: 'Single Status'. The Wragge & Co team offered a cutting-edge solution that solved a tricky problem.

And finally, the judges at the Pensions & Investment Provider Awards named Wragge & Co as the 2011 Pensions Law Firm of the Year. What makes this award all the sweeter is that the team won the same award last year; a rare example of one firm winning successive titles.

Commercial insight from sector specialists

We go further to make sure our legal advice is relevant to your commercial reality. Many of our lawyers have worked in the industries they now advise, giving them specialist insight. Working with lawyers who understand your organisation and its market, you can be sure the commercial and legal angles are covered and that you'll get the right solution.

Responsible business

Like many of our clients, we take corporate responsibility and diversity seriously. We were one of the first firms to embrace corporate responsibility and report publicly on our progress. We also publish our diversity statistics - being open and honest about where we are doing well and how we can improve is part of our culture.
