Spencer West Enters the US Legal Market
A New Chapter for Fee-Share Law Firms
Spencer West, the award-winning UK-founded international law firm, has officially launched its US operations – offering a redefined way for lawyers to practice and succeed.
With proven success and a trusted reputation across the UK, Europe, and beyond, Spencer West has entered the US legal market with a vision to change things for the better. Through its unique model, fee-share done differently, the innovative firm is rooted in sustainability, balance, and the belief that lawyers deserve to work on their own terms, while receiving considerable support to grow their practice.
At a time when lawyers are wary of fee-share firms that prioritize investor returns over lawyer autonomy, Spencer West stands apart. The firm remains privately funded and led by lawyers, for lawyers, focused on creating an innovative, values-driven law firm where legal professionals can thrive.
Starting with offices in New York and San Francisco, the firm has launched on both the East and West Coasts in an exciting new chapter for its burgeoning global legal offering, which already boasts more than 360 Partners worldwide, specializing in 34 practice areas across 20 jurisdictions.
“Lawyers in the US are ready for a firm that actually listens to what they need – a firm that empowers them to work smarter, deliver exceptional client service, and lead a fulfilling life. That’s exactly what Spencer West is building here,” said Marc Halsema, leading the firm’s presence in New York.
“Opening in New York and San Francisco gives us a bicoastal presence and opens up significant opportunity to operate in thriving business and tech hubs. We are responding to a clear demand, and that is truly exciting.”
Antoine West, Spencer West’s Managing Partner and Founding Partner added, “We are proud to continue our rapid growth and open the firm up to the US market. It really is a strategically important milestone, and one which reflects the immense work our people have done since the firm’s inception.”
Spencer West launched in the US in the heart of San Francisco’s financial district and in midtown New York. The firm chose locations close to their client base on each coast.
The firm is actively recruiting entrepreneurial lawyers across the US who are looking for something different – something better.
