With a strong reputation for advising on regulatory and contentious partnership matters, Addleshaw Goddard is a popular choice for professional service firms including law, accounting, real estate, and financial services. The partnership practice is also highly adept at handling cross-border cases, partnership transactions, SRA and FCA investigations, and IP matters. Leading the group is William Wastie, who is noted for being ‘supremely knowledgeable’ and ’always available.’ He has deep experience assisting on international mergers, strategic development, and internal governance issues, as well as LLP disputes for law firms, financial services businesses, architects, and consultancy firms. The team also benefits from the expertise of Aster Crawshaw – who has expertise in leading on M&A and international structuring – and Jon Cheney – who has extensive knowledge of both contentious and non-contentious partnership matters such as international and domestic mergers, reorganisations, and joint ventures. Johnny Cakebread stands out for his breadth of practice which covers mergers, acquisitions, and disposals, international structuring, constitutional and governance reviews, and regulatory issues. Other key practitioners include Ben Sanderson and Luc Swietochowski, both of whom have strengths in partnership transactions. Chris Hallinan departed the firm in June 2023.
