As a leading full-service commercial law firm operating for over 100 years, we deliver on client requests by drawing on expertise from our associated companies to help deliver solutions for our clients in the UK and internationally.

Why choose Clarkslegal

For over 100 years Clarkslegal has built its practice to respond to the demands of our clients. This approach has led us to offering a broad range of City-quality legal support across our offices in London and Reading at highly competitive fee rates.

We have extensive expertise across all commercial law disciplines. These include all aspects of employment law, immigration law, commercial law, corporate law, intellectual property, litigation and dispute resolution, environmental law, construction law and property law.

Clarkslegal is perfectly placed to offer its services to assist in establishing the UK as the natural and preferable home of inward investment. So committed are we to helping overseas companies invest in the UK, that UK Trade & Investment, the UK Government organisation responsible for encouraging inward investment, has placed us on their recommended panel of UK law firms.

As our clients have become increasingly focussed on the international development of their business so have we. We have achieved this by developing close relationships with lawyers in many jurisdictions over the years. In the United States we have worked closely with a number of law firms on corporate transactions, often drawing on our understanding of US accounting practices and US securities.

For many years, because of our specialism in strategic and international employee relations and trade union law, we have provided a lawyer to be part of the UK employers' delegation to The International Labour Organisation, the UN agency responsible for setting employment standards on a global basis.

With associated companies specialising in HR Consultancy (Forbury People), Trade and Investment (Forbury Investment Network and The Commonwealth Environmental Investment Platform), and New Enterprise Development and Support (forburyTECH), Clarkslegal is a multidisciplinary firm that can offer added value to its clients, giving it a strong competitive edge over other commercial law firms.
