The increasingly complex and international environment in which businesses operate makes disputes a commercial inevitability.


But not all disputes call for the same legal response. The successful resolution of a dispute, whatever the size or complexity, requires lawyers with excellent experience and a wide range of legal and commercial skills.

That's where Addleshaw Goddard comes in.

We listen to our clients and understand their business strategy. We spend time with them, to appreciate their businesses and what success looks like for them. We know how to achieve the crucial advantage in litigation and dispute management.

The team is made up of 47 Partners and more than 150 Associates, and includes those with a broad commercial litigation background and highly specialised experts in key practice areas. We have highly regarded teams on the ground in UK, France, Germany, Ireland and both Asia and the GCC and work with correspondent law firms around the world to deliver whenever and wherever required. 

We are familiar with all forms of commercial civil disputes and corporate crime matters. We advise in relation to domestic, international and cross-border litigation, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution, regulatory investigations and risk management. We also represent clients in public law matters.
