Our people
One of the common misconceptions of a model like ours is that people work alone. This could not be more wrong. Teamwork is one of the core values of our firm and we are proud to have developed a thriving internal network.
Bringing together experienced lawyers across all corporate and commercial disciplines, every gunnercooke partner has a minimum of 10,000 hours’ practising experience, which ensures that every client is advised by a trusted advisor or a team of trusted advisors who understand how to help them to navigate their legal issue. We call it delivering ‘peace of mind’.
We will provide many opportunities for you to get to know your colleagues and we encourage you to take full advantage of this. A network of experienced colleagues, each with their own client following.
