Clients can rely on the technical excellence of Osborne Clarke’s disputes team. We are respected as formidable litigators and experienced commercial negotiators, but we avoid taking an overly legalistic or mechanistic approach. We set ourselves apart by finding creative and practical solutions and employ innovative techniques, including legal risk assessments and early case evaluation (providing an up-front cost/benefit analysis) to crack problems. This means, together, we can assess the strength of your case at the outset and then decide on the best way forward.

Our technical excellence is enhanced by our active membership of the Advisory Board of the Institute for Transnational Arbitration, the London Chamber of International Arbitration, the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents and the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys. This activity ensures we remain at the leading edge of new legislative developments. Our clients benefit, as we help them to anticipate and implement changes, which – in turn – maximise their business opportunities and minimise their risks.

We also swear by the value of a strong commercial understanding of the business background to the dispute. The firm has a strong commitment to key business sectors and we have litigators who have insider knowledge of the technology, construction, financial services, energy and natural resources, leisure, transport and defence sectors.

Much of our work is multi-jurisdictional and multi-party in nature. Clients benefit from our international network, as our dispute resolution lawyers work closely together to spot trends in case law globally and advise clients on a trans-national basis. But whilst much of our work crosses borders and jurisdictions, our clients can also rely on receiving expert local advice.

But whatever the nature of the dispute, our goal is the same as yours: to help you achieve your objectives in the most cost-effective way possible.
