Precedent or Innovation

Breadth of practice and seat structure

Our disputes practice is recognised as the leading practice in Europe and Asia, with a real strength in arbitration and an award winning in-house advocacy unit. This strength gave us a natural hedge against the sudden collapse in banking activity in the financial crisis - we were one of few leading firms to grow both revenue and profit in both 2009 and 2010.

Our corporate practice is our largest international practice, with a particular strength in energy and equity capital markets. In comination with our depth of quality in other practice areas such as finance, real estate, competition, regulation and trade, employment, pensions and incentives, IP and tax, we are able to offer distinctive board-level advice.

Our 'twin engines' of disputes and corporate makes the nature of our training contract unique. From the word go we aim to provide you with the right opportunities and support to help you make a real difference to your immediate team, our clients, and to the firm as a whole.
