Why Semple Fraser
Semple Fraser continues to attract high profile clients and we focus on long-term client relationships, strengthening our knowledge of their businesses and as a result, continually revisiting and refining the services we deliver to them.
Some of our earliest clients are still with us including:
- Tesco Stores Limited
- Royal & Sun Alliance
- The British Land Corporation
Semple Fraser has built its business by concentrating on providing specialist advice in the key areas of most importance to our clients. This has resulted in the development of particular expertise in the market sectors we have chosen to concentrate on, namely: Commercial Property; Construction; Finance; and Waste. By taking this approach, and providing a onestop shop for expert advice on every aspect of UK law and key areas of EU law, our solicitors have acquired a reputation for their expert sector understanding and, as a consequence, their ability to add value to their clients as strategic partners.
In addition to the quality of the work and high profile deals you will experience, you will also discover that we invest heavily in the training and development of our people; we recognise that the resources and efforts we devote here are inextricably linked with our success as a business and the personal satisfaction gained by those who have seized the opportunity to develop and build very successful careers. We are recognised as an Investor In People, conforming to the rigorous standards that this entails. We believe that Semple Fraser provides the basis for an extremely rewarding legal career.
