Dickson Minto

At Dickson Minto, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to delivering exceptional results. As a specialist law firm, we have built a reputation for providing clear, concise, and commercial advice to our clients. Our team of experienced lawyers is dedicated to achieving exceptional execution, and we have established long-term relationships with many of the largest and most complex transactions in the market.

Our Approach

We are specialists in corporate transactions and complex commercial advice. Our focus, expertise, and culture enable us to deliver unmatched client service. Every client instruction starts with the most important question: "What do you want us to help you achieve?" We are committed to being a true partner for the long term, putting our clients' best interests first. With an independent business, we are able to focus solely on the needs of our clients without the influence of external forces.

Client-Centred Approach

We believe in making life easier for our clients. This means being clear and simple in all our communication, avoiding jargon, and getting straight to the point. We take pride in being experts in corporate law and in being good people to work with. We treat our clients with respect, which is why we never issue press releases about client transactions. People come to us because they have heard about our reputation, and we're proud to be judged on what's most important: our performance.

Expertise

We have always been a specialist law firm, acting for some of the largest and most sophisticated UK and global companies, privately owned businesses, and fund managers. Our clients can have complete confidence in our work because we have chosen to excel in the specific fields of corporate and commercial law rather than attempting to be everything to every business. We offer far more than legal advice; we act as a trusted advisor, navigating clients through the complex world of corporate transactions, always looking to see what more we can do to make the process as smooth and painless as possible.

Practice Areas

We provide specialist commercial advice in the areas of regulation, investment funds, real estate, competition, intellectual property, employment, pensions, and tax. We have advised clients on corporate transactions with an aggregate value of over $200 billion.
