Established in 1999, Darlingtons is a fast growing boutique law firm in London, a modern practice with 50 staff. Covering a wide range of specialisms, the firm serves clients ranging from investors and entrepreneurs to long established, international businesses. Debbie talks us through the firm’s core practice areas and how it aims to provide excellence in these areas.

“At Darlingtons our corporate and commercial team deals with a full range of corporate transactions and advisory services. We are regularly involved in sale and purchases of businesses or assets and shares, MBO, MBI, corporate restructuring, contracts and commercial, advising shareholders and directors on corporate issues. The team also specialises in advising directors and shareholders in relation to disputes that have arisen between themselves and fellow shareholders and directors. Our reputation is built on commercial, practical and insightful advice.

“Expertise and experience are key to our success, but not far behind is the working relationship between lawyer and client. We are dynamic and proactive, taking the time to understand how clients operate and what their objectives are, resulting in structured and tailored advice at the right cost and according to the client timescale.”

Legal practice is changing rapidly, clients are ever more discerning, with perceptions of service quality as well as advice quality just one example of the changes. Debbie outlines how the firm’s ongoing focus remains firmly on providing valuable services in the future.

“Clients have historically seen accountants and not lawyers as their primary trusted advisors. Whilst there are good reasons for this, lawyers are also valuable business advisors, not just to instruct when a transaction is needed or for a contract or a dispute. As lawyers, our challenge is to build proactive, valued business advisor relationships with clients and to remain adaptable and flexible to changing market and clients needs.”
