Building societies
We have over 20 years’ experience advising building societies on a myriad of legal issues. Building societies play a unique role in the financial services sector, and we recognise how important it is that their members and local communities remain the focus of their strategies. That is why stakeholder engagement is central to the advice we provide.
Our financial services experts are well placed to advise on the regulatory issues that building society clients face. We provide cutting-edge, practical advice and innovative solutions to help our clients succeed in a way that aligns with their members’ goals.
Many members of our team have experience on secondment placements in building societies, giving us a unique insight into the environment in which they operate and the challenges they face. We are also active members of the Building Societies Association.
We are one of few firms able to offer legal services across the three UK legal jurisdictions of England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and have advised building society clients in each jurisdiction. By providing skilled lawyers with expertise in the UK building society subsector, we deliver tailored legal advice from a practical and commercial point of view.
