    Advocacy Legal Services

Effective advocacy before courts and tribunals is key to your prospects of succeeding in a dispute. 

With our team of experienced advocates who regularly appear before courts and tribunals across a range of jurisdictions, you will have seamless access to quality advocacy.

Whether you require advocacy for litigation, arbitration or mediation, our advocates offer a cost and time-efficient one-team approach. Our international network of advocates located in key business hubs (including, London, Paris, Geneva, Dubai, and Hong Kong) uniquely positions us to represent you in complex cross-border disputes. Working as an integral part of our global disputes practice, our advocates possess the same in-depth understanding of your matter from the outset, resulting in quicker briefings and more effective case preparation.

Using external advocates often involves significant costs. Our in-house team offers a simplified fee structure, avoiding brief fees and refreshers. Whether that be on hourly rates or, where available, through an alternative fee arrangement utilising Feesible (our funding solution for clients) we can work with you to manage the cost and risk of a dispute.

  • Interim applications for freezing injunctions, disclosure, costs and other matters
  • Case management hearings
  • Arbitral proceedings through to and including final hearings and appeals
  • Trial preparation and trial in conjunction with leading counsel
  • Our advocates are also able to work with and support any specialist counsel that may be needed
