• Litigation & Dispute Resolution

    International Litigation & Arbitration

    Arbitration provides a private, neutral and enforceable method of resolving international disputes without going to court.

    Our arbitration team manages the process from start to finish, including:

    • · Developing a strategic approach from the outset
    • · Assessing the strengths, weaknesses and prospects of the case
    • · Preparing evidence and submissions
    • · Representing clients before arbitral tribunals and related courts

    Our senior counsel-led approach ensures that every case receives personal and consistent attention. By handling both arbitration and related litigation in-house, we help clients reduce costs and streamline proceedings.

London dispute resolution and English courts

London remains one of the world’s leading centres for dispute resolution, offering a wide range of mechanisms through the courts, arbitration and mediation.

English courts encourage the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including mediation, even after litigation has commenced. Proceedings can often be stayed to allow parties to settle disputes amicably.

We advise and represent international clients, including traders and entrepreneurs, across a broad range of commercial disputes, such as:

Our expertise includes jurisdiction challenges, freezing orders and the enforcement of arbitral awards, as well as advising on the commercial and practical realities our clients face in each case.

Spanish and EU courts

Our dispute resolution team represents clients before Spanish domestic courts, the Supreme Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union. We also coordinate proceedings involving multiple jurisdictions to ensure a consistent defence or enforcement strategy.

We frequently act in the enforcement of English judgments and arbitral awards in Spain, guiding clients through recognition and enforcement procedures (“exequatur”) under Spanish national law following Brexit.

Our litigation lawyers handle all stages of the judicial process, including:

  • First instance and appeal proceedings
  • Enforcement and interim relief
  • Appeals before the Supreme Court and higher courts
  • Cross-border matters involving EU and UK regulation

We assess the risks, costs and procedural options at every stage to define the most effective litigation strategy for each case.
