Allen & Overy Llp

Many of our clients are reaping the benefits of globalisation while also meeting the challenges it creates.

Allen & Overy has led the market throughout its 80-year history. In 2012 we continue to bring new and original ways of thinking to the most complex legal challenges clients face. Over the past year we have advised on the largest ever Sukuk in Saudi Arabia and the first Saudi Sovereign Sukuk, the financing for the world’s largest solar plant in Arizona and took the lead role in the largest ever sovereign debt restructuring which was pivotal in the Eurozone crisis bailout package – to name just a few market-leading achievements.

So although we have a long heritage, there’s nothing old-fashioned about our thinking.

It’s because of our long history and huge experience that we have the confidence to think creatively, to take carefully calculated risks and to support new approaches to our client work.

Over the years this approach has seen us build one of the largest international networks of any law firm, with 42 offices in 29 countries. Most recently we have broken new ground and invested in offices in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Casablanca and Istanbul.

We also continue to develop our network of associate law firms in 100 other countries, regularly bringing them together with our own lawyers and clients to share ideas and strengthen working ties.

So when we talk about global coverage, we’re not just talking about having offices in some important cities around the world. We mean being able to pull together all our resources and direct them to what our clients need in almost any country, at any time.
