Cambridge is set to become one of the UK‘s top tier centres for legal advice with the impending arrival of two full service City firms.
High profile M & A activity along the Cambridge-Essex corridor, the growth of globally important technology sectors and growing links with emerging countries such as India and China are making Cambridge a Mecca for professional firms. The identity of one of the city law firms moving to Cambridge is being kept under wraps but we know that the other big hitter is Charles Russell – and that the practice has already vetted bases locally. Charles Russell is a top 50 full service City legal practice with offices in London, Cheltenham, Guildford, Oxford and Geneva. It advises on complex, cross-border transactions and project manages a prodigious input from its international networks of major law firms. Its clients range from international, FTSE and AIM-listed businesses to governments, not-for-profit bodies, private individuals, trustees and intermediaries. Charles Russell’s corporate finance team advised on M&A deals with a combined value of over £1 billion in 2006, an increase of 31 per cent on 2005. |
