Market leading contentious and non-contentious experience across the commodities supply chain
We support our clients in the constant flow of materials and goods around the world and are with them every step of the way.
Highly renowned for handling commercial disputes arising out of energy matters
Scores highly on all criteria, especially industry knowledge and judgement
When it comes to the challenging commercial disputes, we find them very savvy and streetwise. They are good people to work with and I like their pragmatic approach
Recognised as market leaders in the commodities sector, we are ranked in the top tier of both the Chambers UK and Legal 500 directories.
We have dedicated trade and commodities teams across our office network, including a substantial UK team, working on the full range of the commodity markets – hard and soft commodities, oil and energy, futures and derivatives, and the newer specialisations such as carbon trading. Our end to end supply chain experience gives our advice a particular depth of understanding and this is underpinned by our legal knowledge across our contentious and non-contentious practices.
We act for a wide range of producers, trading companies and banks offering pragmatic advice and steering them through the complex and diverse commercial challenges they face. In addition to standard trading matters, these include hedging, freight trading/freight derivatives and risk management. We also advise on sovereign immunity issues, sanctions, bilateral investment treaties and WTO regulations.
