Practice areas

At Herbert Smith we cover over 30 specialist areas of law. You can see our major practice areas listed on these pages. We have four divisions – corporate, dispute resolution, finance and real estate – and two departments – employment, pensions and incentives, and EU/competition.

Whether your seat in a particular practice area is London-based, in one of our international offices, or you’re on secondment to a client, you’ll have the opportunity to discover which parts of the law interest you the most. Spending time in these areas is the best way to find this out.
