About WithersWorldwide

A law firm focused on people and collaboration


For the past 125 years, Withers has supported some of the world's most remarkable people and organisations at defining moments in their lives.


We are the only international law firm focused on successful individuals and private capital, working closely with founders, investors and family offices.

Many of our clients are shaping the future and creating solutions to tackle many of the world's problems. It makes for a fascinating and challenging practice.

Our role is to get to know each individual client, find out where they want to be, and help them to get there - whether they are building a business, looking after their family, involved in a complex dispute or protecting their finances for the future.

To meet their unique needs we are exceptionally collaborative, working together across teams and time zones.

We are agile, focusing on strategy rather than rigid ideas and traditional hierarchy. It is a truly flexible working culture that puts people first.
