Services and history

Founded in 1983 in a modest office in London’s legal district, the firm began as a partnership between Peter Berg, a sharp-witted barrister known for his strategic mind, and Alistair Milton, a charismatic solicitor with a reputation for closing complex international deals. The two shared a vision of creating a new kind of law firm—one that blended courtroom prowess with commercial savvy. Their complementary strengths quickly attracted a loyal client base, and within a decade, Berg & Milton had made its mark representing multinational corporations in high-stakes litigation and cross-border transactions.

By the early 2000s, the firm had expanded beyond the UK, opening flagship offices in New York, Hong Kong, and Frankfurt. Strategic mergers and a relentless focus on talent acquisition propelled Berg & Milton LLP into the ranks of the global elite. Today, the firm operates in over 30 countries, with a reputation for navigating the most complex legal environments across finance, tech, and international trade. Despite its vast global reach, the firm remains guided by the founding partners’ core philosophy: precision, partnership, and unshakable integrity.
