Our global team of litigators have the appropriate legal, project management and crisis management experience in respect of complex, technical and sometimes reputationally significant disputes.

Should your issues develop into litigation, as one of the largest disputes firms in the world, our global group is adept at managing complex cross-border matters, where the stakes are high and often business critical.

A disputes powerhouse

Our recognition as a disputes powerhouse is one we're proud of - we understand the different ways a dispute can be resolved and are flexible enough to respond to the idiosyncrasies of each matter and our client’s needs as they develop. Our practice comprises over 400 litigators worldwide and, only in the UK, we conduct more commercial litigation than any other law firm. We are also ranked as the most active firm in claimant and defendant commercial litigation in the court of England & Wales.

We have the appropriate legal, project management and crisis management experience in respect of complex and technical litigation and have an established track record of working with clients to align case strategies with their overall commercial priorities and reputation management.

We provide the same level of rigor, experience and sensitivity regardless of the size and nature of the matter at hand. We act for a vast range of clients on the full spectrum of disputes ranging from disaster level events, through complex and high-value disputes and smaller, but nonetheless important, cases. We protect client interests during litigation in the courts, whilst always being mindful of the potential economic and publicity benefit in achieving early resolution where necessary. We understand the variety of challenges clients face on a day-to-day basis and are at the forefront of market developments.
