Corporate

Every significant business decision has legal consequences. Our team has extensive experience advising global businesses on the transactions and commercial arrangements that drive growth, from acquisitions and disposals through to the contracts that underpin daily operations.

Litigation, Arbitration and Investigations

Commercial disputes are rarely just legal problems. They disrupt operations, strain relationships, and consume management time. Our team brings substantial experience of acting for global businesses across the full spectrum of dispute resolution, from early intervention and negotiated settlement through to arbitration and contested High Court proceedings.

We have advised and represented clients in complex, high-value disputes across multiple jurisdictions, bringing the strategic depth and procedural expertise of a top-tier practice without the overhead that typically comes with it. You get senior lawyers who understand your business, not just your case.

Our approach is built around three principles: understanding what matters most to your business, identifying the most pragmatic and cost-effective path to resolution, and delivering it at a price that reflects value rather than postcodes.

  • High Court and appellate proceedings
  • Institutional and ad hoc arbitration (ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL, and others)
  • Emergency injunctions and interim relief
  • Mediation, expert determination, and other ADR mechanisms
  • Pre-action strategy and dispute mapping
