Farrer & Co

With contentious, non-contentious, and transactional expertise, the partnership practice at Farrer & Co is sought after by individual partners as well as professional services firms to assist with an array of high-profile mandates on both domestic and international levels. The team has extensive experience advising on mergers, litigation, and structuring, as well as amending LLP agreements, succession planning, and regulatory compliance, which, together with its cross-border capabilities, have garnered a strong client roster consisting of notable names. Heading up the group is ‘partnership specialist’ Jonathan Haley, who specialises in mergers, acquisitions, and disposals. On the regulatory front, Georgina Fraser is a key contact in the department, focusing on SRA authorisations, while Eleanor Rowswell concentrates on exits, appointments, and disputes. Other primary practitioners include the ’tactically very able’ and ‘highly responsive’ Anna Birtwistle, Pooja Dasgupta, and Kathleen Heycock.
