Commercial Litigation

Who we are 

Our Commercial Litigation team is known for handling high-value, complex disputes with skill, precision, and a clear focus on what matters most to our clients. 

We have a strong client base ranging from high-net-worth individuals to major corporates and have a track record of delivering outstanding results for our clients. We are also proud to be a trusted go-to for major law firms who regularly refer significant conflict matters to us, knowing their clients will receive first-class legal advice and strategic support without compromise. 

What we do
The firm advises on a broad range of commercial disputes, including:

• cases before the High Court and the Court of Appeal
• arbitration
• mediation
• judicial review

Many of the matters we work on have an international dimension and, in some cases, attract high-profile media interest.

The team is particularly well known for dealing with complex class actions and obtaining successful outcomes in such cases in a variety of sectors.  The team also regularly works with alternative funding models including CFAs and acting with ATE in place.

We understand that litigation can be a turning point for a business. That’s why we take the time to understand your wider commercial goals, and we work alongside you to shape legal strategies that not only resolve disputes but support the future you’re building. 

Examples of the team’s recent and previous experience 

• We acted for an international defendant on a multi-jurisdictional fraud claim valued at around £300m and concerning the auctioning of Russian Oil assets.
