We are a leading commercial litigation department and advise on commercial disputes of all kinds. We are noted for our experience in banking, fraud and professional negligence. Our work encompasses UK and heavyweight international litigation, international arbitration and complex multi-jurisdictional disputes.

Our client base is made up of financial institutions, UK quoted companies, multi-national corporations, high net worth individuals, professional advisers and entrepreneurs.

We are a conflict-free litigation only law firm and are trusted by major City, US and other international law firms to act for their clients when they themselves unable to act because of conflict of interest.

There are few law firms in the United Kingdom with both the requisite experience and willingness to accept cases against banks. Research shows that currently only four of the top thirty law firms in the UK would not be conflicted out of acting against one of the major UK banks. We are conflict free and will sue banks for our clients.

In 2010 the acquisition of the City based litigation law firm Masseys LLP added further strength and depth to the services we are able to offer our commercial litigation clients. Masseys, which was formed in 2004 by a group of Baker and McKenzie litigators, rapidly established itself as a 'go to' litigation firm for banking disputes (The Times) and as a leading niche commercial litigation law firm.

In addition to our banking and financial litigation we have expertise in a wide range of general commercial litigation including commercial disputes, fraud, professional negligence, corporate, partnership and property disputes, insolvency and international trade.

We evaluate each case at the outset and provide straightforward advice on the merits of the case and cost issues. Our aim is then to conduct matters speedily but thoroughly and, at key stages, to assess both the financial and commercial implications of the case.

Litigating through the Courts or by arbitration can be both expensive and time consuming. We consider litigation as one of a number of options available for resolving commercial disputes. We will recommend mediation or negotiation if there is sufficient common ground to achieve a settlement. The swiftest route to a satisfactory resolution of a case can often be found in strong reasoned argument. However, we will take firm action where our clients' situation demands it.
