Insights
What We Publish.
Why we settle more cases than we try
A 98% trial record is only meaningful next to the cases that never reached a courtroom. The arithmetic, in full.
DORA: what actually changed in January
Financial entities operating in the EU now answer for their ICT suppliers. The obligations that carry real penalties.
Enforcing an English judgment after Brexit
The Hague 2019 route, its exclusions, and where a fresh action in the local court is still faster.
Case Studies
What We Closed.
Corporate
€2.1bn cross-border consolidation
Fourteen jurisdictions, eleven months, one regulator holding it up until the last week. Closed without a price adjustment.
Litigation
Shareholder claim dismissed at first instance
A €340m derivative action against a listed board. Struck out on standing before the merits were ever argued.
Restructuring
Scheme of arrangement, 1,900 creditors
Court-sanctioned in under six months, with 94% approval in the largest class.
Regulatory
Dawn raid to closed file in nine months
A competition authority inspection across three offices. No fine, no commitments, no publication.
Matters are described in outline only. Named parties, figures and jurisdictions are altered or omitted wherever the engagement or its settlement remains confidential.
