What the Team is Known For

Freshfields has consistently strong crisis and issue management practices in the UK, Europe and the USA. The firm has provided trusted counsel to businesses undergoing restructuring and insolvency, and has assisted international corporations navigating major regulatory investigations, product liability claims and public scandals. Its lawyers are also experienced in supporting clients through sensitive whistle-blower complaints, catastrophic operational disasters and serious data breaches.

Notable practitioners

Sarah Parkes, Adam Siegel, Ali Sallaway and Matthew Bruce, partners in the firm's dispute resolution practice, are key contacts.

Work Highlights

  • Freshfields represented Rio Tinto in a US federal climate change class action in Puerto Rico. The case concerns an alleged fraudulent scheme to undermine the political support for anti-climate change policies, resulting in climate change.
