Oxford

Bringing the full value of an international law firm to Oxford

Oxford is internationally recognised as a centre for culture, innovation and entrepreneurship. We understand that Oxford, its businesses, and the individuals who live and work there have ambitions to change the world. We want to be their partners to make it happen. We bring a new breadth and depth of expertise, as well as access to international markets through our offices in London, Cambridge, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Supporting Oxford's innovation community

As a team of experienced lawyers who have long-standing connections within Oxfordshire, we are deeply integrated into the local fabric and community.

Our investment in the Oxford innovation community showcases our commitment to the region's economic advancement. As well as scaling companies, this includes working with spin outs and social ventures from our universities and research institutions, and the investors who support them. We work with IP and data-rich companies and have extensive experience in life sciences, deep tech, green/clean tech and other emerging technologies at the forefront of truly disruptive innovation. We work with businesses throughout their life cycle from start-up to scale-up to maturity; as a result we create long-standing relationships, generating value for the local area.

It's business. But it's personal.

We bring internationally renowned private client services to Oxford.

We recognise the significant nexus between business and personal affairs and the ways in which this affects our clients. For entrepreneurs, particularly in the technology sector, our Oxford lawyers provide comprehensive support that covers both corporate and personal legal needs. This could involve matters such as guidance on corporate terms and tax implications for exiting founders, asset protection or reputation management.

Our lawyers offer ambitious families an ecosystem of services that include landed estates, wealth structuring and tax, luxury assets and philanthropy.

Our experienced family lawyers take a supportive approach advising on the often-complex, high-pressure moments in the life of a family. Our expertise ranges from specialised advice on education and relationships through to guiding the creation of family offices for international clients. Additionally, MDR Mayfair, our global private advisory business, specialises in helping families create robust plans to preserve future prosperity and wellbeing.

The will for change

In this article Carol Katz (Partner), Sheena Cassidy-Hope (Partner) and Bethan Byrne (Of Counsel) discuss three of the key proposals in the Law Commission's Modernising Wills Law Project, including the proposals for a single capacity test, abolishing automatic will revocation upon marriage, and allowing 16-year-olds to make wills, as well as considering concerns around implementation of the proposals.

"Oxford is a natural home for Mishcon. We offer a relentless curiosity for our clients' business and personal objectives, and a passion for finding new ways to help them meet their goals. We have an innate understanding of what drives those creating new ideas, because that's what we are doing within our own business every day".
