Addleshaw Goddard
Addleshaw Goddard LLP (informally AG) is an international law firm headquartered in London, the United Kingdom. It is structured as a fully integrated LLP and has more than 2,000 lawyers including 444 partners in 21 offices located in Aberdeen, Abu Dhabi, Berlin, Doha, Dubai, Dublin, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Hamburg, Leeds, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Manchester, Munich, Muscat, Paris, Riyadh, Singapore and Warsaw and an affiliated office in Tokyo. The firm advises FTSE 100 and other major companies across corporate, commercial, finance and project, real estate and litigation business divisions with specialist fields such as private capital; energy, financial services, health and life sciences, real estate, retail and consumer, construction and transport sectors; and has a strong interest in tech.
Addleshaw Goddard was formed on 1 May 2003 by the merger of Addleshaw Booth & Co with Theodore Goddard. In 2017, the firm merged with the Scottish law firm HBJ. In 2022, the firm merged with the Irish law Firm Eugene F. Collins. With £551m (€638m - $745m) (+11%) gross revenue in 2025, the firm is the 19th largest law firm in the United Kingdom and ranked 97th largest worldwide law firm by revenue in the 2025 Global 200 worldwide law firms ranking.
Addleshaw Goddard traces its roots back to the very first public record of solicitors in the UK – the Law List – published in 1775.
In 1775, Nicholas Smith founds a firm in Leeds, and Samuel Lister Booth is admitted as a solicitor in 1823. The successors of these practices combined over the years to become Booth, Clough & Booth in 1869. Further amalgamations lead to the firm becoming Booth & Co. In c.1936. John William Addleshaw begins legal practice in 1857 in Manchester and enters partnership with William Warburton in 1873. The firm becomes Addleshaw & Sons in 1904, and then Addleshaw Sons & Latham in 1917. In 1997, Addleshaw Sons & Latham merges with Booth & Co to become the national firm Addleshaw Booth & Co.
In 1902, John Theodore Goddard founds blue chip, City of London firm, Theodore Goddard, which grows through amalgamation with other city practices, such as Rhys Roberts & Co (founded in 1883 by future Prime Minister David Lloyd George). The firm developed as a balanced general practice, with an emphasis on high-profile private client work. Goddard was appointed by Wallis Simpson as an adviser to her during divorce proceedings and in relation to her involvement during the United Kingdom abdication Crisis of 1936. Theodore Goddard retained a strong media and entertainment law practice with clients such as The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Michael Jackson and others; and high-profile cases involving celebrities such as the Hello! magazine dispute over photographs of Catherine Zeta-Jones's wedding to Michael Douglas.
In 2003, Addleshaw Booth & Co and Theodore Goddard merged to become Addleshaw Goddard.
In 2012, Addleshaw Goddard opened offices in Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong (which has now been shuttered), Oman and Qatar.
In 2017, the firm expanded into Scotland by merging with HBJ and adding offices in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.
