    The United States is a strategic market for Taylor Wessing. Our commitment to delivering comprehensive legal solutions is supported by extensive expertise and market leading teams in the US and globally. 

    US law team

    We have a highly skilled, US-qualified team. Our dual-qualified lawyers in the UK and EMEA are supported by an on-the-ground team in the US. We have the scale and cross-cultural perspective needed to connect investors and companies at all stages of their life cycle. We provide transatlantic support for UK and European-headquartered corporations, scale-ups, and start-ups that are looking to compete and win in the US and globally.  

    We work hand-in-hand with our clients, whether they are launching, scaling and raising capital to expand, fundraising, or looking to exit via M&A or IPO.  

    Our US law team in the UK and Europe deliver an integrated US-UK service offering, advising clients on all aspects of transactions. We are governing law agnostic and can assist on transaction documents governed by US or English law. We have the people and capability to advise on them. 

    We are known for our experience supporting US clients in critical sectors including technology, media and communications, life sciences and healthcare, real estate, private wealth, and private equity.  

    Transatlantic support for US businesses

    With a longstanding presence in Silicon Valley, we are recognised as the go-to firm for US-headquartered clients seeking comprehensive 'rest of the world' solutions.  

    We have deep expertise in transactions, regulatory, and disputes work, and can support on capital raises, commercial agreements, data protection, privacy, employment, IP, tax and incentives, litigation and arbitration.  

    We've supported clients from our San Francisco office for more than 10 years and act for many of North America's best-known technology and life sciences companies. We advise European and North American growth companies on their exits and global expansion plans, often acting as an outsourced general counsel as they grow and expand.  

    Our powerful offering that combines a local presence and global reach ensures that your business receives unparalleled legal advice, wherever you operate.
