Dispute Resolution

We have an outstanding international reputation. Our Dispute Resolution group acts for a broad spectrum of clients, particularly those in the corporate and financial sectors. Our clients include sovereign governments, multinationals, financial institutions and international organisations.

We handle:

• a wide range of civil disputes and proceedings
• domestic and international arbitrations
• investigations by the Financial Services Authority
• the full range of statutory and regulatory inquiries and disciplinary proceedings
• criminal proceedings arising in a corporate context
• a variety of administrative law matters often involving proceedings for judicial review
• the implementation of innovative litigation strategies relating to the mergers and acquisitions and transactional work of the firm

Our dispute resolution lawyers regularly work in multidisciplinary teams with our tax, competition, intellectual property, information technology and infrastructure, energy and natural resources lawyers.

We have recently built a team of cross-disciplinary specialists comprising lawyers from our Competition and Dispute Resolution groups to spearhead the anticipated increase in private actions based on competition law. Competition litigation is complex and requires first-class litigation and dispute resolution skills as well as leading-edge competition law and economics expertise which we are able to provide.

Disputes covering the full spectrum of intellectual property rights are dealt with by our specialist intellectual property lawyers.
