Our London disputes team is the largest offshore practice in London. Drawing on the strength of our global team across multiple international jurisdictions, we have a winning track record and prioritise offering a seamless cross-border client service.

We advise on the most significant offshore disputes, which invariably span multiple jurisdictions, winning keynote victories for our clients and often helping shape the law. We also advise on the largest and most complex cross-border restructurings and insolvencies of recent times. The demanding nature of our work and our clients means our team have to be able to offer pragmatic but often creative solutions to complex problems.
