Collaboration at gunnercooke
Many people think of a fee-share model as being inherently isolating, as you are self-employed and have your own clients. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.
At gunnercooke, you’re able to work how you want – whether that be on your own, with a team around you, or regularly collaborating with other Partners.
Many of our Partners choose to work collaboratively, working in their own teams or frequently working with other Partners or associates.
Hear from our Partners below:
David Salamons, Corporate & Commercial Partner
“I love the energy of working collaboratively, I’ve always run teams but there’s a real generosity of spirit at gunnercooke. We’ve managed to bring in all sorts of talent and draw on the wider strengths of gunnercooke as needed.
“My plans are to continue expanding the team into a number of niche areas.
“We’ve got a lot of work coming in at the moment and if you’ve got your fishing net out there to catch the work, you’ve got to make sure you’ve got the people there to actually deal with it.”
Thalis Vlachos, Employment Partner and Alex Vlachos, Commercial Real Estate Partner
“The matter involved procuring various planning permissions which necessitated external funding, requiring expertise in multiple practice areas. This meant that as the matter progressed, we needed to instruct further lawyers, including a tax and a corporate partner, resulting in a substantial gunnercooke team.”
Peter Dempsey, Private Client & Tax Partner, and Welmoed Rutgers, Private Client Partner
“The advantage of working in a model like this is that you can choose who you work with, whether that’s your own team or collaboratively with other teams. You can pick and choose the best experts to help service your clients, and recruit or refer talented ex-colleagues from previous firms. There is a high level of competence at the firm, both in terms of the lawyers and the support team, so you can always trust in the quality of our services. “
Tony Lockwood, Operating Partner
“There are so many opportunities for collaboration. You’re never on your own and always have people to talk to for advice, support and guidance, which is one of the main benefits of working at gunnercooke.”
