Much of the work undertaken by Littleton barristers has an international dimension. This expertise, which applies to all of Littleton’s practice areas, covers advice and representation in relation to English cases but also extends to non-UK cases in courts and arbitrations worldwide.
In such overseas cases, our barristers: advise, appear as advocates or assist in cases where court advocacy rights are restricted to local lawyers, appear as arbitrators or as expert witnesses of law in foreign proceedings.
We have extensive experience in all aspects of:
We act for clients in many countries and jurisdictions around the world. Littleton has a dedicated CIS Group and a dedicated team of arbitrators. In addition, our barristers have advised or undertaken cases for clients on every continent.
We have extensive experience in the following jurisdictions:
