International Litigation

At Crowell & Moring U.K. LLP, we understand. Our experienced litigation team works with clients at every step of the dispute-prevention and resolution process, from advising on dispute-avoidance strategies to obtaining and enforcing awards and judgments around the world. We work closely with our clients, helping them identify and balance the potential risks of litigation against the possible rewards: successfully defending hard-earned reputations, protecting financial, physical, and intellectual-property assets, and pursuing redress in and out of court.

Members of our team have worked on some of the largest litigation in the English High Court in recent years, including claims in excess of £1 billion, and have a track record of obtaining precedent-setting and frequently cited judgments, including in areas as diverse as competition law and the obligations of expert witnesses in English civil litigation.

In addition to representing clients in litigation throughout the UK, our lawyers work on disputes across the globe, including jurisdictions as diverse as Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China, South Africa, New Zealand, the United States, and the EU. Among other high-profile, cross-border matters, we recently achieved a groundbreaking victory for our client, Dana UK Axle, that recognised our client’s commitment to manufacturing and delivering quality products, and reflects our own commitment to client collaboration.
