Trusted Partner
Cross-Border Dispute Resolution & Investigation Law

Clifford Chance  

Our firm: Clifford Chance is a trusted partner for sophisticated clients looking to resolve cross-border disputes, manage enforcement risk and conduct investigations. Our global network across five continents provides us with an exceptional platform to handle the most complex international disputes and investigations. We regularly co-ordinate advice on connected transactions, court procedures or regulatory issues in different countries. And we organise ourselves to respond nimbly to fast-evolving client needs in areas like technology and ESG.

Our approach: Our priority is to deliver exceptional results for our clients – whether that means resolving disputes early, managing investigations and enforcement risk, or proceeding with litigation or arbitration. We have a wealth of experience directly advising foreign investors and focus on solutions that are practical and commercial, including the use of mediation and other forms of ADR. Our advice is consistently tailored to our client’s specific circumstances. We know when to apply a strategic view and are skilled at cutting through complex issues to find the best route to a resolution in our client’s favour. We aim to deliver value for money and efficiency for clients, working closely with our continuous improvement experts and in-house forensic accountants and economists. This collaboration ensures processes are streamlined and improved upon, with no compromise on quality.

Our expertise: We regularly act for clients on investment protection, Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), international environmental law and regulation, Covid-19 related disputes, joint venture and M&A disputes, corruption, antitrust, money laundering, fraud, insider trading and market manipulation, financial crime, international trade, export controls, international economic sanctions, data disputes, business and human rights, and insolvency disputes.

We advise individuals, corporations, Sovereign States, and international organisations on the complex and far-reaching effects of public and private international law, international regulation and enforcement. Our team of experts have the skill and experience to help clients navigate this landscape and support with any potential liability.

Our reputation: We are recognised as one of the leading law firms in the UK (and the world) by third parties including Global Investigations Review where we are ranked as one of the leading law firms, and by the highly regarded legal directories Chambers UK and Legal 500.
