The Mishcon de Reya Group is an independent international professional service business with law at its heart. It was founded in recognition of the growing complexity of clients' needs. Each of the services offered by the Group has a strong connection to the business of law. They are led by best in class professionals recruited from a variety of non-legal industries and sectors
The Mishcon de Reya Group includes consultancy businesses MDR Cyber, MDR Discover, MDR Mayfair (in London, Singapore and Dubai), MDR One, MDRi and MDRx. The Group also includes MDR Lab, which invests in the most promising early stage legaltech companies as well as the Mishcon Academy, its in-house place of learning and platform for thought leadership.
In 2024 the Group announced its first strategic acquisition in the alternative legal services market, flexible legal resourcing business Flex Legal. It also acquired a majority stake in Somos, a global group actions management business.
