A practice built around senior judgement.

Edward Mercer leads the firm's practice in telecommunications and the Electronic Communications Code, advising operators, infrastructure providers, and emerging communications businesses on the construction of systems, site rights, and the regulatory questions that arise in a fast-moving sector.

In addition to his sector specialism, he conducts a broad commercial practice, including significant commercial and property litigation, and acts in the firm's niche alternative investments practice on behalf of both issuers and investors. He also provides security trustee services where required by the structure.

Edward read Economics and Law at Trinity College, Cambridge (MA), and has practised as an English solicitor for over four decades. He has held senior positions in a succession of City and London-based firms, building specialist practices in communications, commercial litigation, and alternative investments.
