Many Russell-Cooke teams and people are leaders in their fields, winning peer-group accolades in areas as diverse as real estate, regulation, crime and children law. The firm is highly rated by legal directories. Our breadth of expertise means we can tackle complex multi-dimensional cases that are beyond the scope of narrowly-based firms of solicitors.
A significant proportion of our work comes from referrals from other solicitors or professional firms. We are often called the "lawyers' lawyers"; our institutional clients include the Law Society, ILEX (the Institute of Legal Executives) and over 40 sets of barristers' chambers.

Services
We act for a wide range of businesses, from publicly-quoted companies including major retail chains and property development companies, to professional and creative partnerships and startups across a range of sectors. We also offer cross-border legal support for companies and individuals doing international business.
We advise clients buying and selling businesses including large companies, small to medium size enterprises and professional partnerships. The ability to successfully handle a corporate deal is far more than just knowing the law. Our corporate lawyers combine technical excellence with the practical skills and determination to drive a transaction forward and manage the process to completion.
As an entrepreneur you will have to deal with various legal matters. We understand the concerns you may have as an entrepreneur and can provide specialist commercial legal advice for any startup or new business. Whether you're just starting out, a serial entrepreneur, or an angel investor, our team is here to help.
Our business immigration team has been consistently ranked as one of the best in London and the UK and advises on all aspects of UK business immigration law. In The Legal 500 (2021), we are noted for our "extensive experience in corporate support work, with particular expertise in the immigration implications of transactions and reorganisations."
Many legal instructions relate to a specific project or problem that needs a commercial resolution. However, businesses also often need legal advice on an ad hoc basis and at short notice on a wide range of legal issues. Our in-house service has been designed to meet this need and allow businesses to access high quality legal advice on a flexible basis.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
I have just completed a house sale through Philip Zimnicki at Russell-Cooke. The timeframes were tight (2 months) and had a number of challenges. I found them knowledgeable, providing excellent advice throughout. Most of all, they were very responsive and available - could not ask for anything more. I would recommend this firm.

The Russell Cooke team handled the conveyancing on the sale of my Putney flat very professionally. I had moved abroad, and Jeremy Pickering and his colleagues did a great job of keeping me informed, and acting as my UK representatives to resolve matters like dealing with the flat's management company.

I used the "more expensive" service for the purchase of my flat and decided to go with them for their notoriety and a peace of mind. 1st letter sent had a mistake on the address and the solicitor was being very moody. From there, you can probably draw a picture of the rest of the case. I would not recommend the firm to anyone as it was a stressful experience.
