CMS Cameron McKenna LLP – Company Profile

CMS is the leading European provider of legal and tax services. CMS Cameron McKenna is the UK headquartered member of CMS with 13 offices in the UK, Central and Eastern Europe and beyond.

We advise on a wide range of transactions and issues, and have developed many long-term relationships throughout the business world, meaning that our clients benefit from working with teams that really understand their issues and concerns. To ensure this we've launched one of the legal sector's most comprehensive client feedback programmes to measure just how focused we are. This approach helps us get an honest opinion on our performance and has been recognised in a number of prestigious awards.

Acting on this feedback we have adopted a sector approach to provide clients with an industry-specific service and deep sector expertise. Working alongside our traditional practice group structure, sector groups enable us to build teams taking an industry, rather than a purely legal, perspective - something that we know our clients value highly. Our sector groups are; consumer products; energy & utilities; financial institutions & services; hotels & leisure; infrastructure & project finance; lifesciences; real estate & construction; and technology, media & telecoms.
