Commercial litigation

Commercial litigation is the backbone of many members' work and experience whether in the Chancery Division, Commercial Court or the Queen’s Bench Division. We have been involved in many of the recent leading cases and combine an incisive commercial approach with the latest legal thinking.

We have a truly international presence, not only through our annexe in New York, but through the representation of clients in jurisdictions as varied as Hong Kong, Malaysia and the British Virgin Islands.  Members of Chambers practice regularly in the Commercial Court, as well as being involved in arbitrations and mediations.
