Our firm
Withers is an international law firm dedicated to advising successful people, their families and their businesses. We provide integrated advice on the US, UK and international legal and tax needs of our clients which can cover a large variety of issues such as restructuring their assets, buying or selling businesses and properties, coping with divorce, employment issues or setting up charitable foundations. Our mission is to offer a truly integrated legal service to the globally wealthy.
Our UK operation (Withers) was founded in 1896 and the US side (Bergman Horowitz and Reynolds) in 1962. Both firms grew quickly and soon established reputations for high quality work in the fields of family and landed estates in the UK, and tax planning in the US - reputations we still hold today. The merger in 2002 between the two firms came in response to client demands to provide integrated transatlantic advice to individuals.
We now have over 700 staff and offices in London, Milan, Geneva, Zurich, New York, New Haven, Greenwich (Connecticut), Hong Kong and the BVI. We have the largest private client team in the world and are recognised leaders in family, litigation, property, employment and commercial law.
Despite our growth in recent years we have maintained our culture and values and enjoy the reality of being a ‘friendly firm'. We are proud of our programme of social responsibility and are committed to ensuring a rewarding, supportive and diverse workplace for all our employees.
