Squire Patton Boggs

Recognised as one of the world’s strongest integrated legal practices, Squire Patton Boggs provides insight at the point where law, business, and government meet. We seamlessly connect legal services that operate on any scale, whether local or global.

Our roots lie in Yorkshire, where we started over 130 years ago, and we now have over 40 offices across four continents, with multidisciplinary teams of more than 1,500 lawyers. We deliver commercially focused legal services and invaluable connections on the ground to a diverse mix of local and global clients across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

Our experience spans a wide range of industries where early and growth-stage companies develop and launch, including internet and digital media, social media, software, hardware, financial services, renewable energy technologies, wearables, health-tech, ed-tech and blockchain technology, on a worldwide basis. Part of our global strategy is to support technology businesses, locally and globally.

We have a proven track record of guiding clients through the technology life cycle, from patent filings, to licensing, to setting up and funding. This experience allows us to understand the context in which the new companies are being set up and the challenges that they face.  We work from bases in major tech centres and are exposed to current market standards and emerging trends in start-ups and venture transactions, locally and globally.

We work with all members of the business ecosystem, including start-up companies, angel investors, venture capital funds, private equity, corporate venture capital, institutional investors and IPO and M&A professionals.
