Shupak & Co is a City of London based law firm created to offer its clients a diagnostic and advisory legal service in the field of business law.

The firm advises on English and European Union law. In order to give the best legal advice to clients from both the UK and other countries, we believe there is invariably a need to understand clients' broader business needs so as to be able to advise on the legal aspects of transactions and trading activities.

So in addition to transactional work, the firm feels it can add most value when a long term relationship has developed, where a deeper understanding of a client's objectives enables the firm to advise on the English and European Union legal aspects of the client's commercial needs and activities.

This ensures that a company not only can comply with its legal imperatives, but that many legal issues are considered within the broader context of its overall business strategy.

Such an advisory role enables Shupak & Co, working closely in conjunction with the client and, where appropriate, with the client's other professional advisers for relevant countries, to anticipate and properly analyse situations with a view to identifying the best course of action for the client.

We believe there is greater client value to be gained from early analysis and advisory work, and in most cases pre-planning should avoid the need for after-the-event remedial action.
