Commercial Litigation

Serle Court has a market-leading reputation for commercial litigation with members at the forefront of many of the most significant and high-value disputes in recent years both in the UK and internationally.

Our barristers are known to “impress both as active participants in major pieces of litigation and as thought leaders in the international dispute resolution market.”

Members’ expertise spans not only commercial litigation but also the commercial fields of banking and financial services, civil fraud, insolvency, company and partnership.

Our members regularly act in commercial cases both in the Commercial Court and the Business and Property Courts. This includes attending court at short notice for urgent interim hearings and applications for freezing injunctions.

Well-equipped to handle valuable, complex and often multi-jurisdictional disputes, our barristers combine deep legal knowledge with a sophisticated understanding of finance, corporate governance and the commercial realities clients face.

Clients consistently commend our barristers for tenacious advocacy and the ability to craft innovative strategies for the most challenging disputes.

Recent examples of headline disputes across the world include: Município de Mariana v BHP Group (one of the largest group actions with a team of barristers representing 600,000+ Brazilian victims of the Fundão Dam disaster), Public Institution for Social Security v Al Rajaan (a landmark case involving the Kuwait state pension fund in a $900+ million bribery claim), and Republic of Mozambique v Credit Suisse International (a multi-million dollar bribery and corruption claim in relation to events known as the “tuna bonds”).
