Our London Litigation & Arbitration team specialises in the resolution of large, high-stakes and complex business and regulatory disputes and investigations.

Some of the world’s leading corporates, financial institutions and states trust us to handle their most important, complex and sensitive matters in a variety of areas and sectors including, in particular: banking and financial services; competition/anti-trust; technology, outsourcing and communications; energy and infrastructure; fraud and asset tracing; insolvency and restructuring; and transportation. 

We have extensive experience of litigation before the English Courts (up to and including the Supreme Court), the resolution of complaints, disputes and investigations before a number of regulatory authorities, international arbitration under the auspices of all of the major institutional rules, expert determination and other forms of ADR.

Many of the cases on which we have been instructed have an international dimension, covering a wide array of different jurisdictions. We also regularly combine forces with our US team to provide our clients with market-leading representation in major transatlantic disputes and investigations.

Whilst we pride ourselves on having tried, and won, some of the most significant and high-profile cases in the market, our aim is to partner with our clients in finding tailored and pragmatic solutions which meet and exceed their commercial objectives.

We deploy focussed, partner-led teams of exceptional lawyers, supported by the latest litigation technology, which means that we are able to deliver real value and exceptional levels of service. 

In terms of market recognition: a number of our lawyers are recognised as market leaders in the leading legal directories; we regularly handle cases which are singled out as “Trials of the Year”; we recently won the award for “Transatlantic Litigation - UK and Europe” at The American Lawyer’s inaugural Transatlantic Legal Awards; and were also recently named as “Best for High stakes Corporate Disputes” at the UK Dispute Resolution Awards.
