We are a highly ranked specialist litigation firm, internationally recognised for handling some of the most complex, sensitive and high-profile business crime and investigations matters in the market. Our clients come to us when the stakes could not be higher — where reputation, livelihood and liberty are on the line.
🏆 Why this role stands out
- Consistently ranked Top Tier by the leading legal directories

- Trusted by multinational corporations, financial institutions, governments, investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals
- Known for taking on cases others won’t — and winning them
This is a rare opportunity to join a truly elite disputes practice while still working in a collaborative, humane and values-driven environment.

- Criminal antitrust (cartels)
- Cross-border matters, including extradition and mutual legal assistance
