Shaping the future of professional services

In a disrupting world, the traditional professional services industry is no longer fit for purpose.

For too long business models have been tilted in favour of the shareholders of firms…not their employees or the clients they serve.

gunnercooke modernises the relationship between business and their trusted advisors, making it more dynamic, resilient and fair.

Relentless innovation

Having already disrupted the legal services market, innovation is at the core of our business.

Unlike dividend-focused partnerships, our model enables us to continuously re-invest in new approaches and technology to meet the future needs of our clients and Partners.

This focus on innovation also extends to how we’re leveraging our resources to help nurture the next generation of purpose-driven startups and community-focused enterprises.

The A-team

Leave behind all the preconceptions you might have about professional service practitioners.

gunnercooke is home to Partners who are not just experts in their field, but dynamic, free-thinking entrepreneurs who are commercially minded, outcome-focused and capable of providing game-changing advice.

As our Partners are all senior independent practitioners, there is no team siloing, internal politics or ineffective delegation. Cross-discipline teams can be quickly assembled to ensure clients gain direct access to the best of the best…as and when they need them.

Hundreds of leaders

gunnercooke’s focus on purpose, leadership and collaboration is baked into our model.

Each one of our Partners are responsible for running and scaling their own independent practices, making them business owners as well as subject matter experts.

Clients benefit from this shared experience and the enthusiasm, commerciality, creativity and strategic insight it brings to the relationship.

Made for the C-suite

From ESG to blockchain, digital transformation to cross border transactions, our team provides independent advice to boards around the biggest risks and opportunities facing their businesses.

The C-suite are rightly wary of advisory firms with high overhead models that limit how much direct senior-level support they get.

gunnercooke’s Partners are highly experienced practitioners at the top of their game and in charge of their own business. They are free to forge their own relationships however they see fit… making them incredibly valuable sounding boards, trusted to provide objective counsel.

Ahead of our time

When we launched in 2010, gunnercooke had already re-imagined how work could be better structured to suit professionals and their clients.

Whilst many are still grappling with the challenges of remote working, office capacity and work-life balance demands, we are proud to have created an approach that has proven popular and effective for well over a decade.

We continue to lead the way, providing a framework that harnesses best practice thinking and technology to streamline processes, encourage collaboration and provide a flexible, productive and desirable working environment.

Purpose at our core

Our model is designed to foster strong relationships between clients and their trusted advisors. It also provides freedom and helps fulfil the professional and personal ambitions of the people who work here. Ultimately, it aims to leave a lasting, a positive legacy on the world around us. People come first and we believe that together, we ‘do good faster’.

Our charitable arm, the gunnercooke foundation, enables us to directly engage with communities on social issues through numerous projects including inspire* and Business for Good. Our bookshop, House of Books & Friends, where every penny of profit goes towards projects aimed at combatting loneliness and social isolation in the community.
