Linklaters, Commodities | Chambers UK Profile

About

Provided by Linklaters

Our commodities practice has grown out of our energy, natural recourse and mining practices. This is in contrast to the majority of our competitors whose practice has grown from a shipping insurance base. This means that our commodities lawyers understand the underlying commodities and the relevant markets in a way that few of our competitors can.

The depth and experience of the team means we are sought out by our clients for their most challenging and significant matters. Our cross practice strength enables us to advise commodity corporates, trading houses and financial institutions on their most complex transactions, disputes and regulatory issues.
