Disputes (International & Cross-Border) - UK
What the Team is Known For
Debevoise & Plimpton have an impressive international team that exclusively focuses on cross-border work. The law firm provides an integrated transatlantic offering due to the firm's prominence in the USA, and the London office represents UK clients with issues overseas, as well as non-UK clients with UK or US law issues. The team is well equipped to handle multi-jurisdictional commercial litigation and is noted for its effective cross-office collaboration. Alongside its own network, Debevoise has cultivated an impressive external network, providing them with access to experts and local counsel across Europe, Africa, North America, Latin America and Asia to assist clients further afield.
Debevoise's London disputes practice is bolstered by its impressive international arbitration offering, with many of their lawyers actively involved in major arbitration bodies worldwide. The law firm is also active in market abuse cases in several jurisdictions across Europe, and when it comes to representation, Debevoise typically acts for clients across the mining, telecoms, energy, pharma and manufacturing industries.
Strengths
Debevoise are very effective at cross-jurisdictional work and what is really impressive is that they are really good on the technical side.
I am impressed by their multi-jurisdictional flexibility and world-wide teamwork.
Their access to the firm's specialists in London, the US, Paris and Germany, for example, is certainly a plus.
