A premier magic circle law firm with a highly integrated network of international offices, A&O Shearman’s London team is frequently identified as a standout choice to coordinate cross-border work. Offering a well-developed, full-service platform which offers consistent quality across numerous practice areas and sectors, the London office fulfils a significant role as the firm’s central hub within its diverse global network. On 1st May 2024, Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling merged to form A&O Shearman.
The law firm's major strength in the technology sector is in fintech matters. It has developed significant expertise in its UK practice focusing on legal challenges associated with the movement of banks and financial services companies into new technology platforms, and leverages its global platform to the advantage of global financial institutions centred in London.
