Key litigation risks reflect global economic and technological developments.

Regulatory and consumer disputes have increased with the rise of cybersecurity incidents and privacy regulation. Climate and greenwashing litigation escalates as investor and regulatory pressures put environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance in the spotlight. Geopolitical disruption and supply chain issues elevate the risk of disputes. Employment and labour disputes, as well as class actions are also increasing.

Our approach to dispute resolution is commercial and strategic. We align ourselves with clients' objectives and work closely with our client teams in executing an agreed strategy. We focus on the issues that matter, not just the process. We represent major global companies on their most significant disputes and investigations. Avoiding a dispute or preventing one escalating is often the objective and, to this end, our team is experienced in alternative dispute resolution, as well as acting in national courts or before specialist tribunals.
