Our M&A clients include high profile names like ABF, Barclays, BAT, bp, Britvic, Diageo, HSBC, Entain, JD Sports, Lloyds Banking Group and NatWest, many of whom have been clients for more than a decade, and we advise them on all aspects of their acquisition, disposal and joint venture strategies. We are currently adviser to over 50% of the FTSE100 delivering transformational deals for them across all our chosen sectors;

The two teams sit together, share intelligence and participate in joint training. We encourage our lawyers to get a balanced work experience across all of these areas throughout their careers (and particularly in the early stages), and to develop their own areas of interest within specific work types or sectors., Addleshaw Goddard is a place where you are valued, encouraged, and challenged to fulfil your potential in a supportive and collegiate environment.

We have a number of employee networks that provide space to discuss the differences that make us who we are and celebrate this at AG.
