December 02, 2024 (London) - Today marks the official launch of Broadfield, a new international law firm, led by its founding member BDB Pitmans and supported by SHP Legal Services (SHPLS). This collaboration positions Broadfield as a transformative law firm focused on serving mid-market clients seeking high quality legal services.

Broadfield has plans to open offices around the globe, beginning with BDB Pitmans that will now operate in the UK under the Broadfield name. Starting in 2025, Broadfield will commence the expansion of its global footprint.

SHPLS will provide management services to law firms joining Broadfield in the areas of technology, operations and talent acquisition. Broadfield member firms and their clients will benefit from upgraded technology, economies of scale, improved ability to collaborate on cross border matters and growth in legal talent.

John Hutchinson, Managing Partner at Broadfield UK stated, “The market for legal services is changing rapidly. Mid-market clients are demanding cost effective, high quality and responsive client-centric legal services. Broadfield is well positioned to meet these demands. Our current BDB Pitmans clients will continue to receive first-class advice and support from the same trusted teams they have been dealing with, now complemented by Broadfield’s international resources and expanded service offerings.”
