Our practices
Dispute Resolution
We act for clients in commercial, corporate and financial disputes – with an emphasis on complex, high-stakes and cross-border matters.
Our Dispute Resolution practice protects what our clients have built – advising on commercial disputes with the same strategic sophistication we bring to transactions and structures.
We advise corporates, sponsors, institutional investors, funds, and private clients on litigation, arbitration, and mediation across multiple jurisdictions. Our caseload includes shareholder and governance disputes, M&A and post-acquisition claims, banking and financing conflicts, investment and fund-related controversies, investor-state and sovereign disputes, enforcement of arbitral awards and foreign judgments.
Because disputes so often grow out of transactions, we treat contentious and non-contentious work as part of the same continuum. Early involvement allows us to assess exposure, preserve optionality, and deploy the right strategy – in close coordination with our Corporate, Banking & Finance, Tax, and Investment Funds & Private Wealth teams.
Our advice is direct, commercially grounded, and designed to achieve the best available outcome – efficiently and with clear eyes on cost and risk.
