When the stakes are highest and the scrutiny is closest, clients turn to Thornhill's Disputes team for the judgement, discretion and resolve to see a matter through to the end.

We advise on complex disputes and investigations where commercial, regulatory and reputational issues intersect. We prepare every matter as though it will go the distance, which gives our clients genuine leverage whether a dispute is ultimately resolved by negotiation, arbitration or trial.

Our team regularly works across borders, coordinating strategy between our London, New York and Hong Kong offices on matters involving cross-border fraud, asset recovery and investigations, and is equally comfortable managing highly technical evidence as it is arguing points of pure legal principle.

Our Difference

Trial-ready, not just settlement-minded

From digital assets to structured finance, our team has a track record of translating highly technical subject matter into evidence tribunals and juries can follow.

Comfortable with technical complexity

From digital assets to structured finance, our team has a track record of translating highly technical subject matter into evidence tribunals and juries can follow.

Cross-border by necessity

Fraud, asset recovery and investigations rarely respect borders, and our London, New York and Hong Kong teams are built to run coordinated, multi-jurisdictional strategies from day one.

Discreet handling of sensitive matters

Many of our disputes carry significant reputational stakes, and our approach is built around protecting our clients' position both inside and outside the tribunal.

Judgement on when to settle

We are just as focused on knowing when a negotiated resolution serves a client better as we are on winning at trial.
