Our Practice

Law, like tea, rewards patience. We pour slowly, we listen longer than we speak, and we settle only when the cup is right.

Cross-border Multi-jurisdictional Plain language

Practice
areas.

Six areas of focus, each led by a partner who has spent the better part of a career inside it. We do not pretend to do everything, and we will tell you when a matter is not ours.

01

Corporate & Commercial

Structuring, negotiating, and concluding agreements for enterprises and founders across the United Kingdom and the European Union. From share-purchase to shareholders' agreements, read twice before signed once.

02

International Disputes

Cross-border litigation, arbitration under LCIA and ICC rules, and the quieter diplomacy that resolves matters before they ever reach a hearing room.

03

Property & Estates

Acquisitions, tenancies, heritage properties, and the orderly transfer of wealth between generations — handled with the discretion the situation demands.

04

Employment

Contracts, restructuring, tribunal representation, and workplace investigations. We advise both employers and senior individuals, never at the same time.

05

Family

Mediation, divorce, and the custody of children — conducted, wherever possible, away from the courthouse and around a table instead.

06

UK-Africa Trade

Advising Ghanaian and West African enterprises on UK inbound investment, structuring cross-border joint ventures, and resolving commercial disputes across common and civil law jurisdictions.

The
attorneys.

Three solicitors, one shared instinct: read the matter twice before recommending anything. Each of our attorneys has spent at least a decade in practice before joining Greenway.

Sienna Whitfield

Partner — Family & Estates
London, United Kingdom

Sienna came to the Bar by way of clinical psychology. She mediates first and litigates rarely, and is the reason many of our families never see a courtroom. Her practice spans divorce, custody, and the particularly British art of inheritance disagreement.

Areas of practice
  • Family mediation
  • Divorce & custody
  • Estate planning
  • Trust disputes

How we work

Four
principles,
in order.

These are not slogans. They are the operating instructions of the firm, and the order matters. We will not skip a step to save a week.

+
I.

Listen first

We begin every matter by listening for an hour, and then reading for a day. Advice given before either is haste, and haste is the most expensive thing in the practice of law.

II.

Read everything

Contracts are read twice — once for what they say, and once for what they omit. We are paid for the second reading.

III.

Slow judgement

Most matters resolve themselves if left for seventy-two hours. We are not afraid of the silence, and we do not send the first draft.

IV.

Plain language

Letters drafted in plain English cost less to send, less to read, and rarely need a second letter. We have no interest in billing by the syllable.
