Dispute resolution
Litigation is at the heart of our business and we know it inside out. At any one time, more than half our lawyers are handling complex, large-scale global disputes.
However, we always consider the possibility of commercial solutions through negotiation and mediation before going to court.KEY CONTACTS

Support for litigation in other jurisdictions
Support for litigation in other jurisdictions
Increasing globalisation is requiring clients to resort more frequently to action in courts outside their own jurisdiction, to support claims in their home jurisdictions.
Examples of how we help lawyers acting in litigation in other jurisdictions are:

- Seeking documentary evidence and/or testimony from English companies and individuals for use in foreign proceedings (Letters of Request). This can involve both obtaining orders from the English Court to give effect to Letters of Request, as well as opposing those applications. We can advise on how these are treated by the English courts to ensure the best chance of success, and on the application itself
- Enforcement of foreign judgments in the English courts. Where there are assets in England against which a judgment may be enforced, we can assist with investigations and asset tracing to establish if the English target is likely to be able to meet any judgment and we can advise on the enforcement proceedings themselves
- Where litigation is started abroad, we can help by serving those proceedings on entities located in England.
