In recent months the london offices of international law firms have been gearing up for the long-awaited upturn in litigation with a string of office openings and major hires. With the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) gaining in popularity in recent years, it is no surprise that the U.K. capital has been at the forefront of the action, alongside other major arbitration centers like New York and Paris. There have also been moves to bulk up on dispute resolution expertise in Asia and the Middle East. At the same time, much of the lucrative work currently available involves Russian corporations with assets held in offshore locations.
The repositioning got under way last year with the London office launch of California-based litigation boutique Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges in May. The practice is led by former Essex Court barrister Sue Prevezer QC, who joined the firm from Bingham McCutchen, alongside commercial litigation partners Richard East and Marc Becker, the latter previously of Munger Tolles & Olson in Los Angeles.
