FSI is an extraordinarily high profile law firm based in central London with a dynamic team of lawyers who advise national and international SMEs, property magnates, media conglomerates and successful individuals from all walks of life. The firm prides itself on its high partner ratio which ensures clients have the full attention of partners who know the detail of their matters - clients will not find their work being pushed down three levels away from the partner they first met. FSI’s structure also means lawyers and trainees get exceptional supervision. Clients tell us that it’s because of the level of partner involvement and their relationship with FSI individuals that they return to the firm year after year.
Being a smaller firm means FSI can give their clients (and their people) a very personal experience, ideal for any individual or organisation that appreciates the service and support that comes from being a big fish in a smaller pond.
Whilst we are proud to be smaller than some, we haven’t stinted in providing the full service support that counts when you are doing a major acquisition (tax and banking partners being an integrated part of the corporate and property teams) or a large dispute under tight timeframes. Our membership of Meritas, an international alliance of law firms, also enables us to coordinate cross-border matters in the US, across Europe and Asia.
EXPERTISE
The firm is able to provide cradle to the grave support (literally) through its eight departments (property, corporate, commercial dispute resolution, IP media, employment, personal injury, private client and family). Our focus is primarily on helping you grow or protect your business but if you also need to safeguard your personal assets, our family and private client departments are on hand to help.
Look closer
What’s surprising about FSI is the breadth of expertise under one roof. For example, the firm has a niche practice advising individuals on the enforcement proceedings issued by the FSA and are also key advisors on Europe’s largest compulsory purchase order to date. FSI also has the author of 'VAT on Property Transactions' as the head of its tax team and large private client and family teams. These specialist skills feature on top of the more obvious property, corporate (particularly AIM), employment, media and IP specialisms you might expect of a corporate law firm.
“This firm is on an upwards trajectory claimed clients, who appreciated its "considered advice - you feel this firm is working for you, rather than just thinking about its fee."
