    United Kingdom

    The United Kingdom is a world-leading market for legal services and Nixon Peabody has been providing advice to clients from the UK for decades.

    Overview

    The “special relationship” between the UK and United States has only grown more important since Brexit. We are increasingly seeing UK clients turning to us to assist them in entering the US market, executing the acquisition of an American company, handling a legal dispute under US law, or dealing with US tax issues regarding their estate planning. 

    Our team works closely with advisors in the UK to provide a seamless solution to our clients, whether they be a manufacturing company in Birmingham, a high-tech fintech start-up in Swansea, a football club in Scotland, or a financial services firm in the City. 

    Our UK practice is so important that we established an office in London to liaise with our clients in the UK and support our US clients doing business in the UK. The office works closely with our entire international team, especially attorneys in Hong Kong, to provide global service to our clients.

    Representative Experience

    • Leading fast-fashion fitness retailer on their US market entry
    • Lead defense counsel in an art restitution case regarding the safekeeping of The National Gallery of London’s Matisse painting Portrait of Greta Moll
    • Scottish football team on US trademark matters
    • Global software development and digital transformation consulting company, in connection with its acquisition by a UK-based private equity firm
    • Software startup that helps SaaS and e-commerce companies monitor and optimize their payment performance in its sale to a London-based payment platform
    • Several UK-based technology companies in setting sales, R&D, manufacturing, and distribution operations in the US
    • Large London-headquartered not-for-profit on US charity law, including a significant merger with another US charity with an aligned mission 
    • UK food company on its initial set-up and distribution in the US
