History

BLP's roots lie in the early twentieth century, when the three original law firms were founded:[3]

  1. Paisner & Co was established in 1932 by Leslie Paisner and provided general legal advice.
  2. Lionel Leighton established Leighton & Co in 1942, a firm that advised on litigation and property development.
  3. Berwin & Co was founded in 1963 by Stanley Berwin, specialising in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, as well as tax.

In 1970, Leighton & Co merged with Berwin & Co to form Berwin Leighton and moved into Adelaide Housein London.

Berwin Leighton Paisner was formed on 1 May 2001 when the two firms merged, comprising a total of nearly 1000 staff, with 122 partners.[4] The new firm's headquarters continued to be Adelaide House in London.

Neville Eisenberg was elected managing partner of Berwin Leighton in 1999, holding the position in BLP until May 2015, when Lisa Mayhew[5] was elected managing partner.

2009 saw the formation of Goltsblat BLP, a 70-strong team[6] that is the only joint venture between an international and local firm in Russia.[7]

In April 2018, Berwin Leighton Paisner merged with the St. Louis, US firm Bryan Cave.[8][9]
