Commercial Disputes
Led by Senior Partner David Greene, Past President of the Law Society of England and Wales and ranked in the Hall of Fame as “one of the best litigation solicitors practising in the City”, our team is known for its experience, integrity and strategic insight.
We act in complex domestic and international disputes, representing large corporations, financial institutions, SMEs, partnerships, trusts and high-net-worth individuals.
Our team’s strength lies in combining technical precision with commercial understanding – tailoring our strategy to the business and objectives of each client. The guidance we provide gives clarity, confidence and control at every stage.
A joined-up view
Commercial disputes rarely exist in isolation. We take a holistic approach – working collaboratively with colleagues across corporate, finance, tax, intellectual property and regulatory disciplines to ensure every aspect of a case is considered and every solution is workable.
Our lawyers are experienced advocates in the High Court, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. We act for UK based and overseas clients in disputes before the World’s foremost dispute resolution centers – from the Americas and the Caribbean, to Europe, Africa and the Middle East – and before tribunals such as the Court of Justice of the European Union and European Court of Human Rights.
Fortitude. Lasting results.
We recognise that commercial disputes can be demanding – financially, operationally and reputationally. Our approach is strategic and focused: we assess risk early, focus on commercial outcomes, and act decisively. The team includes litigators, including barristers, with international experience, enabling us to offer seamless, end-to-end representation from initial advice to enforcement.
We work closely with clients to manage litigation risk and navigate related governance, compliance or regulatory issues, ensuring that disputes are resolved efficiently and relationships preserved wherever possible. Our focus is always on resolution that protects value and preserves trust.
Three-dimensional advice
Drawing on decades of experience and international reach, we provide advice that balances legal precision with a commercial perspective. We look beyond the immediate dispute to protect long-term value, preserve relationships and strengthen resilience for the future.
