Our ‘exceptionally talented’ and ‘responsive and strategic’ Commercial Litigation department has an established track record of success in even the most complex cases. Litigation has been a focus of the firm since its inception in 1948, and our highly experienced team is widely recognised for its skill in this area.

We understand that the stakes can be high in any commercial dispute. Our team is experienced in providing smart, tactical solutions that enable us to resolve disputes at the earliest opportunity, while ensuring our clients’ interests are always protected.

We represent individuals, institutions, and companies in all stages of litigation and alternative dispute resolution. Our work often involves acting in high-quality commercial and corporate disputes, many with a cross-border or multi-jurisdictional element.

Our team has unrivalled technical knowledge, strategic insight, and practical experience in conducting complex litigation at all levels. We are often instructed on disputes and litigation relating to contracts, shareholder and partnership agreements, insolvency, and collective claims/class actions. We can also advise in specialist areas such as higher education litigation, art law disputes, charity litigation, judicial review proceedings, and international sanctions.

We work collaboratively with our clients to provide a tailored approach with a focus on identifying key issues at an early stage. We pride ourselves on devising and implementing strategic yet pragmatic solutions to achieve our clients’ goals and draw a swift conclusion to any dispute.
