More About CMS Cameron McKenna

CMS is the leading organisation of European law firms, which includes CMS Cameron McKenna.

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. We ask for feedback regularly, often using an independent interviewer to talk to clients face-to-face. This approach helps us get an honest opinion on our performance and has been recognised in a number of prestigious awards including Client Relationship Management Development of the Year 2007.

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. We believe it enables us to offer more proactive and tailored advice and is a benefit that few law firms offer. Our

Sector Groups are: Consumer Products; Energy & Utilities; Financial Institutions & Services; Hotels & Leisure; Infrastructure & Project Finance; Lifesciences; Real Estate & Construction; Technology; and Media & Telecoms (TMT).

The work we do is intellectually demanding and professionally stretching and you’ll find it an excellent grounding for a career in law.
