gunnercooke is a challenger law firm. It challenges the way that legal services are delivered to clients. It challenges the way that lawyers balance their lives. It challenges the way our communities are served by those of us more fortunate. Most of all, it gives lives back to our lawyers and enables them to design their life as they wish to live it – which we believe enables them to deliver a brilliant service to their clients. And it works. Today we are one of the UK’s leading commercial law firms, as measured by our clients, with a Net Promoter Score of on average +84.

gunnercooke lawyers advise with the authority of experience. Many of them have spent time in business, learning first-hand how to work to a financial budget, and the way that legal decisions impact the wider organisation, which often requires balancing risks and competing interests. We pride ourselves upon advising in a language that the entire business understands and our expertise spans across all of the challenges that a business and the individuals who work within it may encounter.
