The dispute resolution team at Benjamin Smith has a noted strength in corporate disputes, regularly handling shareholder, joint venture, and post-acquisition disputes. Whilst the team does work with domestic clients, many of the firm’s cases are international in nature, involving parties in multiple jurisdictions. The strength of the team is well evidenced, with head Mark Lim noted for his practice focused on contractual disputes and corporate issues such as shareholder and joint venture disputes. Furthermore, Andrew Wanambwa specialises in disputes related to the interpretation or breach of commercial contracts, whilst Fraser Mitchell is noted for his experience of cases involving fraud, bribery, or conspiracy. Key support in this area is provided by Fraser McKeating and Benjamin Smith.
