Gowling WLG is a sector focused international law firm. 
 
With more than 1,500 legal professionals in 19 cities across the UK, Canada, Continental Europe, the Middle East and Asia, Gowling WLG provides clients with top-tier legal advice at home and abroad in a range of areas – from complex cross-border transactions, capital markets issues or financing to high-stakes litigation and disputes.

In addition to offices in Stuttgart and Munich, we expanded our German platform in 2023 with the opening of an office in Frankfurt. The Gowling WLG team currently consists of 10 partners from 8 different practice groups and almost 40 lawyers in total - with ambitious growth plans.

Our German capital markets team is recognised for its broad and deep experience in the field of capital markets transactions and corporate law advice for listed companies. We are particularly noted for our international experience and our comprehensive corporate and capital markets offering as well as our understanding of a breadth of sectors such as real estate, life sciences, infrastructure, technology, energy and industrials. 

In the UK, we rank among the top law firms for total number of publicly quoted clients (Main Market and AIM), and have regularly been ranked as a leading AIM market adviser, both by number of clients and market capitalisation, (Advisers Rankings Guide).

Whether you are a global corporation, an owner-managed SME, a financial institution or an international investor - we will do everything we can to solve your legal challenges pragmatically and efficiently, promote your national and international growth and identify investment opportunities.

We have the right mix of advice: our partners have gained profound experience in other international law firms and are now working in a new environment with a ‘start-up character’. With us, the boss still does the cooking himself/herself: You will experience a lean team with strong partner presence. Our support is faster and more efficient.
 
In contrast to specialized boutiques, our broad set-up offers the required breadth and depth for your legal issues. 
Our clients like it.
