Chapter 01 · A London Practice
Set up for
both directions.
London is our transatlantic hub. Half the engagements are U.S. founders bringing a product, brand, or operating system to the UK and EU. The other half are UK and European founders entering the U.S. market. The team is half-British, half-American, all-bilingual.
TEAM · ON-SITE
13
Strategists, FCA-network counsel partners, and EU operator placement. Bilingual UK-US bench.
EXPANSIONS · RUN
58
Cross-Atlantic expansion engagements over the last 24 months — in both directions.
FLOOR · 3RD FLOOR
4,100sqft
Loft studio, two studio bays, a 12-seat boardroom, and a private call room for FCA & HMRC sessions.
COUNSEL · NETWORK
80+
UK and EU specialist counsel, regulatory advisors, and senior operators in our active network.

Chapter 02 · Address & Map
The exact
front door.
We're on the third floor of a converted Victorian warehouse on Bishopsgate, off Curtain Road. Reception is on the third floor — the lift requires a fob, so a BBD team member always meets visitors at street level.

Chapter 03 · Why City of London, Why London
Three reasons
we settled here.
London has three or four neighborhoods that could host this practice. We chose City of London deliberately — it's where the firm's UK clients actually work, and it's a five-minute walk from the City when we need it.
REASON · 01
Between the City and the founders
City of London sits between the Square Mile (where the bankers and counsel are) and Hackney/Hoxton (where most of our UK founders are based). We can be at a Lloyd's underwriter or a Hackney warehouse in fifteen minutes either direction.
OUTCOME15 min to the City; 15 min to founders.
REASON · 02
A bench that operates in both currencies
Our London team holds dual UK-US fluency — tax, employment, regulatory, and cultural. That bench is genuinely hard to build, and it shortens almost every transatlantic engagement.
OUTCOMEBilingual operators on every engagement.
REASON · 03
A studio that fits the work
Brick, beams, daylight. The City of London loft tradition is the right backdrop for the kind of practice we run — less Mayfair-formal, more working-floor.
OUTCOMEA working studio, not a Mayfair lobby.

Chapter 04 · Visiting Us
What to expect
at the door.
The London studio runs as a working transatlantic floor. Most visits are scoped to a market-entry session, an FCA prep, or a multi-day intensive. Plan for tea, sparkling water, and long working hours.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
A few things that make the visit smoother.
Confirm 48 hours ahead, bring photo ID for the building's lobby system, and arrive 10 minutes early. The lift requires a fob; a BBD team member meets every visitor at street level. The freight entrance is for deliveries only.
Dress smart-casual; the team works without ties. Boardroom has a 75” display, US/UK conference audio, a whiteboard, and a coffee bar. Guest Wi-Fi is fast.
There's no on-site parking. NCP at Finsbury Square is the closest. Liverpool Street and City of London High Street stations are each 4 minutes on foot. From Heathrow, the Elizabeth Line to Liverpool Street is 39 minutes.
