Shakespeare Martineau

Shakespeare Martineau is a full-service law firm, providing legal services to businesses, organisations, families and people throughout life and in business.

Our purpose is clear and our ambitions are unlimited: we want to unlock potential in our people and clients, inspiring confidence, growth and development. We provide creative solutions and advice that helps you fulfil your commercial and personal goals. What is vitally important to us though is that we build lasting relationships, championing our clients and providing the best possible business and personal advice.

At Shakespeare Martineau, we are driven to help our clients thrive, to unlock their potential and to take advantage of opportunities. Establishing this relationship, therefore, was a no-brainer given that our values closely align with those of Marketing Derby.

We want to be the advisors who help you drive forward, engage in new ventures, challenge the established way, embrace the new abnormal and take advantage of opportunities. 

Working with organisations of all sizes, we deliver a broad range of specialist legal services and have expertise across multiple areas including but not limited to: real estate (including planning and environmental), energy, education, banking and finance, healthcare, investment funds, manufacturing, agriculture, family business, Islamic finance, later living, social housing and charities.

As part of Ampa Group, we are a certified B Corporation, meaning we have been verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

With more than 1,200 people, we have a strong presence across the East Midlands, with working space in Derby, and office hubs in Nottingham, Leicester and Lincoln as well as Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, London, Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Solihull, Southampton, and Stratford-upon-Avon.

Not only is Derby blessed with the potential for regeneration, it benefits from a large pool of friendly, collaborative and innovative entrepreneurs working towards making the city a better place to live, work and visit for generations to come. We are delighted to be working with them and other fellow Bondholders in achieving their ambitions.
