Cooley (UK) LLP brochure 2021/22

Cooley in London As a global city – a centre of finance and a hub for technology, innovation and creativity – London is a natural fit for Cooley’s international clients and for the firm’s strategic global growth. The office now has more than 110 lawyers in our new base at 22 Bishopsgate. The office provides corporate legal advice on domestic and cross- border mergers and acquisitions, capital markets transactions, debt finance and private equity and venture capital financings. The firm has deep experience of advising high-growth disruptive technology and life sciences companies as general corporate counsel on all stages of a company’s life cycle. Additionally, the London office has teams advising on technology transactions, cyber/data/privacy, competition, intellectual property, compensation & benefits, employment and tax matters. Our London-based litigators have considerable experience in complex domestic and cross-border litigation, international arbitration and regulatory matters. They have handled litigation in all commercial divisions of the English High Court, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court and Court of Justice of the European Union, and represented clients in all major international arbitration proceedings. We offer a wealth of experience in major international asset disputes, including advising governments on their anti-corruption agencies in seeking to trace, freeze and recover corruptly acquired assets of dishonest public officials, along with advising major private companies. Our white collar crime team acts for business executives in connection with high-profile and sensitive global investigations. The group also has one of the UK’s most significant insurance and reinsurance practices, covering complex insurance and reinsurance disputes, arbitration, commercial court litigation and insurtech matters. With a client-first approach and an uncompromising focus on the highest levels of knowledge and responsiveness, Cooley’s product compliance and liability team provides a unique level of support for product manufacturers navigating the rapidly changing international regulatory and liability risk landscape.

‘The office is really collaborative … everyone supervising my work has been extremely generous with their time, and patient in getting me up-to-speed and I have never felt left-out of any conversation big or small. That leaves you with the feeling that you can contribute like an equal stakeholder from very early on. We’re lucky to work in such a great new office too – in our internal café (Arthur’s) it’s like as if your favourite local coffee shop always had people you were hoping to run into, in the line.’
