Travers Smith

Travers Smith is a commercial law firm headquartered in London, with a second office in Brussels. It advises listed and private companies, financial institutions and private equity firms on large-scale, often cross-border transactions, disputes and regulatory matters. The firm has been in operation for over two centuries.

Its practice spans corporate M&A, private equity, funds, financial services, employment, pensions, tax and technology. Work is organised around three broad offerings: transactional advice on major corporate and private equity deals; contentious and dispute resolution services; and regulatory and advisory work. Cross-border mandates are delivered through a network of more than 150 independent law firms worldwide, giving lawyers exposure to genuine international work without the firm being part of a single global structure.

For lawyers, the firm describes itself as a different kind of City law firm experience, built around deep expertise, genuine independence and real partnership. It states that it treats clients' goals as its own and gives sharp, practical advice without unnecessary layers. Its stated culture is supportive, inclusive and collaborative, with an emphasis on allowing talented individuals from all backgrounds to thrive.

The firm is an accredited Living Wage Employer and is recognised under the Government's Disability Confident employer regime. It also reports a commitment to corporate social responsibility and pro bono work.
