Practice Areas | Litigation & Dispute Resolution
True to the culture of SJ Berwin, the Litigation & Dispute Resolution Department has a reputation for accurate reading of the legal market and for spotting developments ahead of its rivals:
- We were the first UK law firm to introduce an in-house advocacy capability
- We responded to our clients' need for business solutions to commercial disputes by identifying and recruiting David Shapiro, one of the top mediators in the US
- We introduced structures into our Litigation and Dispute Resolution department aimed at maximising the advantages of the new civil litigation environment brought about by the Woolf Reforms
