Overview of the practice
We have one of the most formidable and wide-ranging dispute resolution and litigation teams dealing with complex, high value, multinational and multi fora matters. We specialise across insurance litigation, corporate and commercial litigation, construction litigation, transport and employment and labour, including various sub-specialities. We are best known and respected for our extensive sector knowledge, broad ranging experience, domestic and cross-border mandates, international arbitrations and investigations and enforcement.
