REDCAR AND CLEVELAND
Unprecedented – Womble Bond Dickinson believes there ’ s never been a better time to do business in the Tees Valley . Partners Caroline Churchill , Peter Snaith , Sarah Daun and Kevin Bell are pictured at their Wilton Centre HQ . with import and export formalities following Brexit . We have a strong digital team , headed up in the region by Caroline Churchill . We provide specialist advice to businesses developing and adopting new technologies to transform their operations . We also help businesses to navigate the cybersecurity and data compliance considerations associated with the implementation of business-critical and highly complex technology solutions .
While such services might be available at other national or City firms , the local knowledge and connections our team have may not be . We can offer the dual support of technical specialist legal advice coupled with our local presence and knowledge .
Our size and scale – with more than 450 lawyers nationally and 27 offices across the UK and US – means we offer a credible alternative to City firms and sets us apart from other local firms .
But don ' t just take our word for it . We have a track record of advising many recent new owners of the world-class manufacturing assets that continue to change hands as part of the local industrial evolution . The trend shows no sign of slowing , with more high-profile inward investors taking advantage of the breadth of our expertise and unmatched awareness of the Teesside industrial asset base and our network of complementary service providers and local and national stakeholders who can help businesses to expand in our region .
As a firm , we have always recognised the strategic importance of Teesside , not only to us and our clients but to the country and the national economy as a whole .
We have been actively involved in and helped to push forward initiatives that help the region prosper , whether that be from our role as an early promoter of the freeports initiative , through to helping businesses manage the transition to net zero and helping Teesside gain recognition as the natural centre of excellence for plastic recycling and the circular economy and , most recently , our involvement and support of the national Centre for Digital Trade and Innovation , a global project led by the UK and based on Teesside .
Our team will continue to do this important work , alongside providing the excellent technical legal advice for which we are recognised , drawing on our local , national and international footprint .
