Seddons

FROM OUR BASE in Portman Square in the heart of London’s West End, Seddons advises our UK and international clients on family law, estate planning, residential real estate, personal and commercial disputes, commercial real estate, real estate finance, corporate law, employment law, immigration and more. We are a Top 200 law practice with a strong reputation for both commercial and private client work.

With a history stretching back to the 1980s, Seddons has continued to grow and adapt to clients’ changing needs, but the strength in our core areas of work has always been maintained.

Following the recent pandemic that has changed the world as we know it, the firm quickly adapted to the idea of working remotely, while still providing our clients with the excellent service they are accustomed to, supported by robust and tested technology to ensure delivery of the highest standards of service quality and responsiveness. Our commitment is to help you wherever we can, while of course taking all actions to protect the wellbeing of our clients, staff, their respective families as well as the wider community. Rest assured, it’s business as usual.

Seddons achieves the best possible outcome, with the professional and interpersonal skills needed for sensitive matters, complex technical work, and cross-practice issues. We work alongside other professionals to protect clients’ financial and emotional interests, in addition to offering a full range of legal services. Our clients are from varied backgrounds, with an emphasis on business owners and professionals, and we regularly act for high-profile clients, including HNW and UHNW individuals, always understanding the importance of preserving confidentiality and reputation with the utmost discretion. We have had the pleasure of looking after families and businesses for generations, working with them to lay the groundwork from which they can flourish.

Over the years, Seddons has built a renowned international reputation, with clients from across the globe. Our connections with a number of law frms worldwide, combined with the firm’s emphasis on global practice area groups, provides us with an international reach.

We help people reach strategic decisions about what they would like to do with their assets, both during their lifetime and upon death. This involves considering a wide range of issues such as the value of the assets, the nature, type and situs of those assets, the type of ownership structure and, of course, the residence and domicile status of the client in question.

No matter the size or extent of the dispute, our approach begins with an understanding of the legal framework and the personal circumstances that our clients face, as well as the sensitivity required. We always do what is required to ensure the best possible outcome. We are known for our understanding of the psychological impact of divorce, and work with psychologists and counsellors, ensuring clients navigate the separation process in the healthiest way possible.

Our experts make it their prime interest to ensure every aspect of our client’s transaction is handled seamlessly. Our reputation as one of the leading property departments in London is based on our ability to tailor our services directly to each client’s particular needs. We are experienced with a raft of diverse property transactions and use this specialist knowledge to identify any potential issues before they arise.

We pride ourselves on our ability to work to tight deadlines while delivering reliable, practical and sound advice. We have formed close relationships with financial advisors, developers, surveyors and other professionals to ensure that the highest level of service is offered to clients, every step of the way. We are guided by a desire to excel at making your matter as simple and easy as possible.

We bridge the gap between the often complex nature of the law, and the needs and interests of our clients, offering a discreet and integrated service, which combines all relevant practice areas of law within a single strategic approach.

Our team of expert advisors are frequently invited by the media to speak and write on legal matters. Commenting and appearing in national news outlets, our lawyers are seen as thought leaders in the industry.

On 1 May 2019, Seddons became Seddons Law LLP. It is our objective to continue growing our business for the benefit of both our clients and our staff. As we grow, an LLP offers a more corporate structure, which will assist us in managing our business effectively and investing in it in a structured way.

We will continue to develop the range of services we provide to clients as their needs change. We also believe that this modern structure will enable us to continue to motivate and attract high quality talent.

Whatever the matter, Seddons is on your side.
