Faegre & Benson LLP is the London office of Minneapolis based firm Faegre & Benson LLP.
The city firm specialises in business law with particular strength in innovation and technology, corporate finance, business litigation, property and employment. The firm has a strong international practice and represents a number of major US and foreign corporations ranging from multinationals to small businesses, banking and property institutions and local government bodies. We provide a service to our clients which combines the personal attention of a smaller firm with the legal expertise, skills and resources usually associated with large firms.
Faegre & Benson has established an excellent reputation for its advice in innovation and technology. Its innovation and technology cross-disciplinary group is well-established, with numerous service providers as major clients. The firm handles data protection and security issues for a number of significant financial institutions, as well as handling IT and e-commerce issues. Specialist expertise is readily available in all aspects of intellectual property and allied areas, including patents, trademarks, passing off, copyright, registered designs and technology transfer.
Through its Corporate Finance group, the firm provides a full range of corporate law services and also has considerable experience and expertise in venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, management buy-outs and buy-ins and company reconstructions. Business sectors in which the firm has recently been involved include e-commerce and technology, telecommunications, manufacturing, publishing, banking and financial services and oil and gas development.
The Business Litigation Group has a wide range of experience covering banking and commercial claims, engineering and technology disputes, insolvency, defamation, professional negligence and employment cases. Special emphasis is placed on existing clients to resolve commercial problems through mediation, ADR and arbitration.
The Commercial Property Group has a depth of experience in the public and private sectors, with a strong bias towards heavyweight developments and finance, both institutional and banking, joint property ventures, institutional investment, letting, construction and ancillary matters including planning and other development-orientated services.
Our practical approach to legal matters is allied to a strong determination to understand our clients' businesses, enabling us to solve legal problems promptly, efficiently and cost effectively. We encourage clients to seek advice at an early stage so that we can anticipate problems that might otherwise prove time-consuming and expensive to resolve.
Much of the firm's work has an international element, and we have developed connections with law firms in Europe and overseas. Faegre & Benson is among the top 20 U.S. law firms in London, based on the size of its English law practice and offers clients access to more than 475 lawyers worldwide with offices in Minneapolis, Denver, Boulder, London, Frankfurt and Shanghai. |
