The firm's innovative 'revenue share' model has helped to reshape the way that the law is practiced in the UK. Each Partner runs his or her own practice within the firm. This quasi-autonomous structure provides Partners with the freedom to work only with the clients they truly want to work with, charging fees that are commercially viable for both the Partner and the client.

In a rapidly expanding company, their practice is amongst the most meteoric in growth - both Liz and David are well-respected and well-known throughout the company.
