Practice areas

Herbert Smith’s breadth of practice covers over 30 specialist areas of law, with our major practice areas listed on these pages.

Whether your seat in a particular practice area is based in London, or in one of our international offices, or on secondment to a client, you will discover which areas of law interest you the most. Spending time in these areas is really the only way to find out.
