Dorsey & Whitney’s European practice is based in London, where the firm offers a range of diverse experience and expertise to international clients with business interests in Europe, as well as European clients active in the United States.

The London office includes English-qualified lawyers and U.S. attorneys, enabling Dorsey to provide clients with an integrated team on cross-border transactions and cases. Dorsey London lawyers include members of the English Bar, simplifying matters for clients who proceed to the English Courts and before the European Commission.

In addition, a number of Dorsey offices in the United States have active Europe-focused practices, which offers European clients support on all aspects of doing business in the United States, including: acquiring or disposing of companies in the United States; capital markets-related transactions including IPOs and listings in Europe and on Wall Street; and advising on U.S. employment rights and on intellectual property issues. Dorsey also represents European clients before U.S. courts and administrative agencies and in affairs involving the U.S. government.

Dorsey’s European and international clients benefit from world-leading corporate law expertise. The firm’s European cross-border M&A practice highlights Dorsey’s ability to advise across several jurisdictions, bringing decades of experience to every deal we do.

Dorsey was one of the first international firms to recognise the potential of Scandinavia’s thriving capital markets sector. The firm has developed a speciality in advising Norwegian, Danish and Swedish companies on their entry into the international capital markets, and working with global companies accessing Scandinavian finance.
