International Disputes
Help to resolve disputes between organisations and individuals based in different countries and legal jurisdictions.
Removing the barriers in international disputes
We help UK and international clients resolve their business and personal disputes, from simple disagreements to complex and high value cross-border claims.
Our expertise in international litigation and arbitration means we can guide you through the local legal process, highlighting any conflicts of law issues, and finding solutions to overcome them.
We move fast to obtain freezing injunctions, assist with overseas asset tracing, and can advise on global product recalls. We also help to enforce decisions, including arbitration clauses in commercial contracts, and foreign judgments and awards in England and Wales.
Confident, commercial advice
International dispute resolution can be expensive, so we will weigh up the costs of you taking legal action versus the likelihood of success. We can also advise on any alternative dispute resolution methods that may be appropriate for your situation.
We save you time by handling all communication with lawyers in each jurisdiction – whether they are acting for you or for the opposition. We’ll undertake any translation requirements, and keep you informed of progress and options.
Using the right law and jurisdiction to resolve your dispute is essential and can help you achieve your preferred outcome. We will explain the different jurisdictions and choices of law which determines which courts and laws can be used and which forum would be most appropriate.
