Global UK Dispute Resolution: Commercial

This section ranks firms and lawyers advising businesses, high net worth individuals and other non-public sector entities on disputes arising out of commercial arrangements. It also covers corporate litigation, including post-M&A disputes, corporate control issues, joint venture disputes and shareholder disputes. This chapter covers exclusively courtroom litigation, rather than alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation and arbitration. This section does not cover regulatory investigations or enforcement actions, such as those matters covered in the Competition Law, Financial Services, Health & Safety or Professional Discipline chapters. This section also does not cover public law work, such as those matters covered in the Administrative & Public Law, Civil Liberties & Human Rights, Local Government or Public Procurement chapters. General crime, financial crime, civil fraud, banking litigation, restructuring/insolvency and tax matters will not be considered under this chapter. International arbitration is covered extensively elsewhere and so should not appear on submissions to this section.
