Practice

Based in London and New York, Pallas’ lawyers litigate the most complex and novel disputes across all sectors and practice areas. We are court-sharp trial lawyers and advocates, bringing cases to trial before the English, U.S. federal and state, and international Courts. Blending technical excellence and strategic awareness, we use litigation to drive value and successful outcomes for our clients.

We have particularly strong experience in financial disputes, as well as commercial litigation, contentious restructurings and insolvencies, private equity disputes, and fraud / white-collar adjacent disputes.

Our litigators are consistently top ranked by Chambers and Legal 500, and are named as leading lawyers by Law360, Super Lawyers, Who’s Who Legal, and beyond, recognised for their robust and dynamic approach to their market-leading cases.

We act as counsel in complex, high value, strategically significant commercial and investment arbitrations, across a broad spectrum of industries. Our arbitration lawyers have deep experience handling arbitrations under all major institutional rules, in all of the world’s major arbitral centres.

We maintain a complete focus on achieving our clients’ commercial objectives through arbitration. We build arbitration strategies around the merits of the case, but also the environment for enforcement and recovery. Our experience spans the entire lifespan of an arbitration, including discovery actions, challenges to arbitrators, set aside of awards and multi-jurisdictional enforcement. We have acted in some of the most important arbitration related litigation in the English and DIFC Courts.

Our team has received widespread recognition for its high quality advocacy and “impressive innovative thinking”. We are proud to be described as “very committed to a result”. Legal 500 UK 2022, International Arbitration
