Natasha Harrison

Founder & Managing Partner

Founding partner and legal powerhouse, Natasha is a barrister and solicitor who focuses on complex commercial litigation and arbitration disputes. On speed dial with some of the biggest global companies, her experience lies in high profile, high-value cases for hedge funds, private equity funds, investment banks, corporations and governments.

With a portfolio encompassing high-stakes business disputes, distressed debt investments, sovereign debt investments, investments in special situations and emerging markets, securitizations and complex finance arrangements, and restructuring disputes, she has a reputation as being one of the leading litigators of the most important investor disputes of the last decade.

Awarded the HERoes Woman Role Model title for the fourth year running, Natasha is pioneering the way for gender diversity in the workplace. Further accolades include “leading banking litigator” from Legal 500 and Chambers UK. Super Lawyers and Lawdragon have named her as a leading commercial litigator and Who’s Who named her as a Restructuring Thought Leader for 2022. In 2021 she won Legal Advisor of the Year at the Women in Finance Awards, she was shortlisted for a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Law Society and for Managing Partner of the Year by Legal Business. She was also listed by Financial News as one of the 50 Most Influential Lawyers in 2022 and as one of the 100 Most Influential Women in European Finance in 2022. She is top ranked in Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners.

Described as a “market leader”, “a top lawyer and big player in the market” and “a first rate litigator” who clients “adore”, Natasha is resourceful and creative; her experience across the board providing strategic litigation advice on an international level is second to none. With winning results across high-stakes international litigation and arbitration, and particular experience in complex financial disputes, special situations and contentious restructurings, clients describe her as “in the top drawer of litigators in the City”, a “leading light for hedge fund and other high value litigation” and as “a tough litigator and a great leader who provides client focused advice”. She is further described by clients as “phenomenal, with a very good, sophisticated and analytical mind”, “standing head and shoulders above the competition” and “formidable’.
