Why Foot Anstey?

Foot Anstey, one of the UK’s fastest growing law firms, believes in assisting clients and individuals in achieving their goals, thereby opening up new and exciting opportunities. Our team of business and legal consultants is driven by knowing our customers’ objectives and working with them and other experts to achieve solutions. By being our clients’ most trusted advisor, we help them realise their goals. What we do and how we do it are both equally significant. Our beliefs determine how we interact with our clients and each other on a daily basis, and we believe that our culture and environment set us different.

Over the years, we’ve evolved from a high-street enterprise to a prominent regional and national player, working with top brands and individuals in six core sectors: private equity, retail and consumer, energy and infrastructure, Islamic finance, developers, and private wealth. Our strategy of increasing market share by satisfying client needs, investing in and growing high-quality staff, and leveraging technology and innovation to improve our services has resulted in tremendous growth. We presently operate from seven offices in Truro, Plymouth, Exeter, Taunton, Bristol, Southampton, and London.

In addition, our remarkable suite of flexible benefits will allow you to choose what is most important to you.

Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is critical to fulfilling our goal, and we were thrilled to receive the National Equality Standard for the second time in 2021. We believe that this is at the heart of our values and extends far beyond our rules; it is something we consider in everything we do, from the composition of our client teams to enabling employees to reach their full potential and our leadership. We want to help our clients and employees achieve their goals regardless of their background, gender, ethnicity, beliefs, sexuality, or other non-work-related issues. We advocate and inspire aspiration in everyone we work with. As such, we actively welcome submissions from all appropriately competent individuals, regardless of any legally protected traits.
