Dispute Resolution Overview

The SORAINEN Dispute Resolution Practice is one of the firm's largest and boasts an impressive track record. Many cases stand out for their complex cross-border nature linked to European Union and international law. Many disputes are handled by arbitration and the firm’s lawyers often act as arbitrators. The firm is proud of developing dispute strategies and obtaining injunctions that often lead to swift settlements.

Clients represent a range of sectors: from public sector and international organisations, manufacturing, trade, distribution, electronics, technology, shipping and transport, energy and services to key players in banking, finance and insurance. SORAINEN litigators hold a leading portfolio in defamation cases and have appeared in court for celebrities, entrepreneurs and politicians. The firm hosts a large portfolio of insurance, IP and liability matters for an impressive list of clients.
