Matters · the record
Wins that never made the papers.
Every matter below is real in shape and disguised in detail — clients unnamed, numbers rounded, jurisdictions occasionally shuffled. The outcomes are exact. Discretion is not a marketing constraint here; it is the product.
The £340m arbitration nobody heard about
Disputes · 14 monthsTwo industrial groups, three jurisdictions, one Singapore seat — settled before either side's shareholders knew there was a war. The full anatomy, anonymised.
M.009Eleven days to signature
Corporate · Rescue M&AA distressed acquisition with a regulator's clock running and four time zones of counterparties. One working Christmas. Zero extensions requested.
M.021An estate across four flags
Private wealth · EstatesA collector's legacy: four jurisdictions, two centuries of provenance, one delicate family. Settled in eighteen months with the collection — and the family — intact.
M.017The raid that became a footnote
Regulatory · InvestigationsSix a.m., forty investigators, three sites. Twenty-six months later: no findings against our client, and a paragraph on page fourteen of the annual report.
M.011The clause that saved a shipping line
Disputes · ArbitrationA jurisdiction clause drafted here in 2019 proved, in 2025, to be worth the entire fleet. The dullest paragraph we ever wrote — and the most valuable.
M.024Succession, staged over a decade
Private wealth · GovernanceA founder, three heirs, eleven operating companies. Ten years of patient structure so that the handover, when it came, took one afternoon and no lawyers in the room.
