About

Legal Risk LLP are a true niche law firm.

About

We are a specialist law firm combining cutting edge legal advice with our experience in management of large law firms. We were the first law firm established specifically to offer legal advice to lawyers on risk issues in the UK, in 2003. Building on that experience, we have also been advising property professionals on regulatory issues and challenges for a number of years. From surveyors and estate agents to property developers. Our mission is to keep lawyers and property professionals out of trouble, and to get them out of it if they are already in trouble.

We advise leading insurers, lenders, brokers, major city law firms and professional firms of all sizes nationally and internationally. We have provided advice on insurance and anti-money laundering to regulatory bodies. We have acted for 30 of the top 100 firms.  We also act for law firms of different shapes and sizes, including AmLaw 100 (US) firms and other foreign firms setting up offices in London or with established offices in London. We defend claims, difficult ones rather than the commoditised volumes of professional negligence claims. Our focus is on difficult issues.  Law firms and property professionals, as well as their insurers, instruct us direct, recognising the need for specialist input on issues which could ‘break the business’.  We are the trusted advisor to numerous senior partners, managing partners and general counsel.
