The ‘stellar’ team at Addleshaw Goddard consists of ‘brilliant lawyers,’ who are also ‘practical and pragmatic’. The team acts on high-value complex disputes, often internationally, with expertise across an array of sectors, including telecommunications, banking and financial services, retail, oil and gas, and retail. For one client, the ‘agile and innovative way in which the team acts’ is commendable. ‘Experienced, measured, and calm under pressure’ Mark Molyneux leads the team as global head of disputes, advising corporates, financial institutions, and high net-worth individuals on disputes related to fraud, competition, contract termination, warranty claims, and disputes with subcontractors and suppliers. Natasha Winterpunches above her weight’ and is integral to the practice, as is Lauren Hamilton.
