They have a name in the market for their expertise handling high profile cases, usually with an international element.

Their team have a wealth of knowledge in complex commercial litigation, asset tracing, freezing injunctions both defending and obtaining, multijurisdictional disputes, third party disclosures and "dawn raid" orders.
