Taylor Wessing Profile & Stats

Taylor Wessing is the Anglo-German product of the 2002 merger of the City’s Taylor Joynson Garrett and Germany’s Wessing. Both firms, of roughly 280 lawyers, came together to create an international firm, devoted to servicing the technology, media and telecoms sectors.

It is certainly an ambitious firm and has fast developed into the international presence we see today – with offices in the major economic zones of Belgium, Germany, France and the UK. The move has allowed Taylor Wessing to score lucrative cross-border work, in addition to selling itself in the US as a well connected outfit. In 2007 the firm merged with associated law firm Key and Dixon to form Taylor Wessing Middle East. The firm also has two representative offices in China.

The firm faced a minor image problem post-merger after the collapse of the dot-com boom; as while it was doing all the work one would expect from a decent corporate boutique, the firm was difficult to define. Now, while traditionally known for its work in TMT, Taylor Wessing covers a broad spectrum of areas – from corporate to private client to venture capital. Practices in venture capital and private equity have been joined by commercial property, pensions, employment, biotechnology and insurance.

Taylor Wessing is among those firms savvy enough to realise that its corporate clients might also want some advice on how to manage all their moolah. Furthermore the firm is now establishing a reputation advising on cleantech funds, climate change and environmental practices. The UK still accounts for more than half of the firm’s total revenue, the majority of which is brought in by corporate work.
