We are one of the leading legal practices in the field of commercial dispute resolution. Our global team is experienced in all areas of international dispute resolution — litigation, arbitration and ADR (alternative dispute resolution). Whatever the needs of a dispute, we have the expertise, support and personalities to work with our clients to achieve successful and commercial results.

Our dispute resolution lawyers are based across our offices around the world, assisted where necessary by a well-established correspondent lawyers’ network.

We do not subscribe to any particular style of dispute resolution and recognise that each dispute is governed by a unique set of variables, conditions, problems and, most importantly, client objectives. Where appropriate we use tools other than litigation and arbitration, such as mediation and expert determination, to resolve disputes in ways that support our clients’ strategies and commercial objectives. We also lead the way in exploring and utilising the various funding innovations available to clients.

Our dispute resolution lawyers are experienced in handling high value, complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes and have a depth of expertise in a number of industry sectors. In addition, that experience means that we are well placed to provide dispute avoidance, risk management and contractual advice. This is a key issue for our clients, particularly in light of increased market and industry regulation.

Our wide ranging and international client base includes many of the world’s most significant shipping lines and airlines, global resource, energy and oil companies, insurers and reinsurers, international retail and investment banks and other financial institutions and regulators, as well as corporations in various other industry sectors.
