Watson Burton LLP is a leading law firm with almost 200 years' experience and a well-earned reputation for helping our clients succeed. Offering the full range of commercial law services, Watson Burton has significant nationwide coverage providing first class legal advice from offices in Newcastle, Leeds and London.

The firm is delighted to announce that internationally renowned commercial and technology practice, Trevor Robinson & Co, merged with us from 1 May. Trevor Robinson & Co acts for substantial technology clients and other international businesses such as SAP, Panasonic, Petrobras, the world's sixth largest oil company, Cryolife Inc and Northern Trust Company. This development ensures our clients have specialist advice available across the entire commercial and corporate law spectrum.

Watson Burton has continued to increase its national profile and has brought greater depth to the employment law, property, banking, business services and commercial litigation departments. We continue to be recognised for core strengths in sectors such as construction, insurance, energy, charity law and sports law.

A pragmatic and progressive firm, our solicitors are relied upon for their ability to understand each clients' wider business strategies and for providing thoughtful, practical business solutions that help our clients directly achieve their objectives.

Over the last few years we have become one of the fastest-growing law firms. Yet, however large we become, we'll always appreciate that success depends on strong relationships with each and every one of our clients.

It works for them and it can work for you too.
