‘Exceptional litigation boutique’ LK Law LLP has a strong reputation for handling complex international disputes, in particular those that involve large-scale fraud. Its diverse client base in this area includes high-net-worth individuals, corporations, and restructuring professionals. Leadership of the practice is divided between ’class act’ Andrew Ford and ‘top litigation strategist’ Caroline Phipps. Adam Flacks is seen by one client as ’a future leader’, and Claudia Scherman is ‘completely on top of the detail’. The September 2024 hire of Amy Harvey from ONTIER LLP furthered the firm’s strength in depth.
