SERVICE

Commercial litigation

INTRODUCTION

We provide advice on a wide range of areas such as litigation avoidance advice, pre-action, interim injunctions, trial litigation, appeal litigation, regulatory, mediation and arbitration.

We act for an extensive range of clients drawing from the firm’s established and wide-ranging sectors, including media, technology and entertainment, in addition to high net worth and influential clients from our market-leading private capital practice. Due to our prominence and expertise in those sectors we are able to assist our clients on a cross-departmental basis and provide technical and strategic advice which is grounded in industry-specific knowledge and experience.

Our lawyers are pragmatic, with many years’ experience in resolving both commercial and personal disputes, for whom strategic and tactical awareness are at the heart of their advice. Our team includes accredited mediators and solicitor advocates and we have strong relationships with barristers, experts, PR advisors and other specialist lawyers overseas.

We maintain a diverse client base, which ranges in size from multinational corporations and major public companies (many of which are household names) to entrepreneurial, single shareholder private companies. We also act for individuals in a wide variety of capacities, including as entrepreneurs, company directors, shareholders, trustees and beneficiaries, owners of high value property, individuals with significant private wealth and individuals with the highest of media profiles.
