After the turbulent few years which have seen the U.K. leave the European Union and previously unthinkable disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, what has happened to London’s litigation crown? Has London held onto its title as the top centre of choice for the world’s biggest disputes?

Our view is, overwhelmingly, yes. Throughout these tricky periods, the courts of England & Wales have demonstrated their flexibility and creativity which has avoided the backlog which has happened in many other jurisdictions. Furthermore, London is still clearly a popular disputes forum, and we consider it unlikely that that will change in the near future.
