Lewis Silkin

Dispute Resolution

I am a Partner in the Dispute Resolution team. My practice focuses on domestic and cross-border litigation and dispute resolution and I have advised on several large-scale disputes.

In addition to my London-based work I have acted in litigation and arbitral matters involving emerging markets such as Zimbabwe and Pakistan. I have also worked in Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands. While in Hong Kong I defended a $1.5 billion professional indemnity claim against one of the Big 4 accountancy firms. In the British Virgin Islands I advised on, among other matters, a $600 million economic tort claim involving Russian parties and off-shore corporate entities.

I am personally ranked by leading independent legal directories in the UK, Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners, in the field of Commercial and Corporate dispute resolution.

Prior to joining Lewis Silkin Andrew was an Associate at Barlow Lyde & Gilbert (2002-2010), Of Counsel at Norton Rose (2010-2014) and a Partner at Ogier in the BVI (2014-2017).
