The small firm with the big reputation

Welcome to the website of Ferguson Solicitors – the small law firm with the big reputation.

For 13 years we have been successfully representing City traders and professionals in legal disputes with their employers. Several, such as the much-publicised case of Clark –v- Nomura International Plc in 2000, have created important judicial precedents.

It is one of the reasons why so many City employees now turn to us for advice and support in dealing with problems associated with the terms and conditions of their employment; their bonuses and compensation packages; the regulation of the City and those working in the financial markets; and the failure of employers to monitor and give effect to ever-changing anti-discrimination policies.

Our reputation for strong and effective advocacy is confirmed by the Chambers 2009 Directory which commends our firm for its “unique knowledge of complex financial markets”, adding that we “drive a hard bargain” for clients in the banking and securities industries. It also cites our lawyers as being “robust fighters” and “clear strategists with commercial know-how” while our founder and principal, Charles Ferguson, is described as “fantastic on both the big picture and the finer details”.

Although we are best known for our niche services to City professionals, we also handle non-contentious company, commercial and regulatory work including business start-ups, applications for FSA registration, the merger and acquisition of private businesses, and the provision of company secretarial services.
