Our global dispute resolution and litigation lawyers advise many of the world’s largest corporations and financial institutions on complex, high-value and sensitive multi-jurisdictional disputes. We help public and private companies, SMEs, partnerships and sole traders to address the problems they face in a business-sensitive way. We listen and work with you to achieve your objectives and will help you to minimise or eliminate the risk of a dispute occurring again.
When disputes are unavoidable, we aim to find the best approach for our clients’ individual needs. We focus on the objectives of clients, while assessing legal, commercial and reputational risk. Our lawyers analyse the negotiating weaknesses of opponents and elaborate optimum procedural tactics or settlement approaches.
Our litigation lawyers provide international clients with a service of excellence, handling both the relatively simple to the most complex civil litigation issues that regularly arise in private and business affairs. We provide access to a pragmatic and commercial approach to problem solving with our dispute resolution services. Our litigation lawyers represent corporate clients in everything from large commercial actions to smaller personal disputes. In addition to assisting larger companies and groups, governmental organisations and financial institutions, we also advise smaller businesses and individuals involved in corporate disputes (directors and shareholders), as well as private clients.
We represent local and international clients in relation to all their commercial disputes and cross-border enforcement matters, and we also regularly act as lead counsel or as an arbitrator in major local or international arbitrations. Our lawyers both prevent and resolve disputes by providing clients with practical, creative legal advice that focuses on their strategic and commercial objectives. Our experience includes the full spectrum of dispute resolution and litigation mechanisms ranging from negotiation, mediation, conciliation and conflict resolution to vigorous courtroom strategy, multi-party and class action lawsuits and appellate proceedings.
We are able to take or defend action on an urgent basis to protect your interests, including obtaining asset freezing orders, search orders and other injunctions if appropriate. Members of our team are frequently appointed as supervising solicitors in respect of the execution of search orders.
Our Firm has a special focus on cross-border dispute resolution. Our multi-lingual team has experience in handling proceedings both for and against foreign entities and individuals, with in-depth knowledge of different legal and cultural backgrounds. We tackle a range of specific issues such as immunity from jurisdiction and execution, the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements, and arbitral awards and cross-border injunctive relief.
