Disputes (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Debevoise & Plimpton offers an exceptional multidisciplinary and international practice with notable capabilities in the global contentious space. The London office is an integral part of a closely coordinated global platform that includes colleagues from the firm’s US headquarters, as well as in Europe and Asia. For cross-border cases in jurisdictions beyond its office coverage, the firm is careful not to be part of a formal alliance or network but instead chooses to coordinate with local counsel based on personal relationships and recommendations as part of a bespoke and flexible selection process.

The firm's impressive international team exclusively focuses on cross-border work providing an integrated transatlantic offering due to the firm's prominence in the USA. 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. The firm is also active in market abuse cases in several jurisdictions across Europe. The London disputes practice is bolstered by its impressive international arbitration offering.
