The London Office

"QE London may have only been on the scene for a few years, but the firm has assimilated itself into the global law landscape." –Legal Business Our lawyers are dedicated solely to business disputes. We specialise in high-stakes commercial litigation and have built a reputation as one of the premier firms for complex commercial and financial disputes.

Our 50+ lawyer London office is lead by lawyers who were also lead partners at firms like Allen & Overy (Stephen Jagusch), Herbert Smith (Ted Greeno), Olswang (Martin Davies) and in one case a barrister from Essex Court Chambers (Sue Prevezer QC). With talents like this no case is too challenging. No case is too big. No case is too complex. Our London partners have seen and done it all.

The Wall Street Journal has dubbed our firm a "global force in business litigation". Our litigation group, though modeled on the firm’s successful U.S. practice, is tailored to the unique characteristics of the London litigation market.

A significant amount of our work is acting against the global, money centre banks, something major City firms cannot do because of conflicts. Our lawyers act in the very largest Commercial Court and Chancery Division cases, the so-called "mega-trials". QE has secured landmark victories in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.

Unlike most London litigation practices, our combination of barristers and solicitors, including a senior QC, provides the firm with the resources it needs to oversee entire cases in-house. For some matters involving multiple financial institution adversaries, QE London is the only top-tier City firm that can act.

London is also the centre of our highly rated international arbitration practice lead by Stephen Jagusch, formerly the global chair of Allen & Overy’s international arbitration group. Our arbitration specialists have experience in all forms of commercial and investment arbitration including:

• International Commercial Arbitration
• Investor vs. State Arbitration (under bi-lateral and multilateral investment treaties)
• State vs. State Disputes

Our lawyers have literally arbitrated disputes all over the globe. They have arbitrated disputes under the rules of all the major arbitration bodies such as LCIA, ICC, AAA, ICSID, UNCITRAL, as well as the arbitration centers in Stockholm, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vienna and more.
