Commercial litigation

We have one of the world’s leading practices in the field of commercial dispute resolution, specialising in handling high value, complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes, with our international network of offices allowing us to provide our clients with a global service. We have acted on substantial disputes in the world’s main financial centres and in offshore and emerging markets.

We seek to add value to our clients’ businesses. Our Analysis and Recommendation model of advice delivery enables us to identify our clients’ commercial objectives and, with our clients, develop the appropriate strategy to achieve those objectives. Where appropriate, we use tools other than litigation and arbitration, such as mediation and expert determination, to resolve disputes in a way that supports our clients’ commercial objectives.

Our lawyers have a depth of expertise in key industry sectors and our extensive experience makes us well placed to provide dispute avoidance, risk management and contractual advice. This is a key issue for our clients, particularly in light of increased regulation.

Our client base includes:

• International retail and investment banks
• The world’s most significant shipping lines and airlines
• Global resource, energy and oil companies
• Insurers and reinsurers
