Commercial Disputes

In today's global marketplace, despite best business practices, litigation and disputes are often unavoidable. As a large publicly listed company or a small privately owned business, you will need lawyers who will deliver the outcome that meets your objectives and work within the commercial realities you operate in day to day. 

Our UK based team advises on national and international disputes, specialising in sectors such as financial services, energy, life sciences & healthcare, and TMC. 

We have a wealth of experience in resolving complex commercial disputes and successfully avoiding disputes in the first place. Our advice includes drafting dispute resolution clauses during pre-contractual negotiations, through to obtaining emergency injunctions in situations where assets may be at risk, to complex multi-jurisdictional disputes and enforcing judgements and recovering assets.
