Squire Patton Boggs

Squire Patton Boggs has an ‘excellent indefatigable team of litigators, utterly dedicated to their clients’. Over the last six years the firm has invested heavily to build its presence in the commodities market, and its profile continues to grow among major trading houses, energy and metals companies, and financial institutions. London practice head and ’true statesman’ Chris Swart is frequently involved in high-value arbitration and High Court hearings. He recently assisted ADM with the enforcement of a $5m GAFTA arbitration award against a Moroccan grain trading company. Other standout practitioners include Katie Pritchard, who continues to expand her practice of enforcing commodity arbitration awards in the High Court; and John Rollason, who is well-known for his work in profile in contentious matters involving grain and coal. The up-and-coming partner Michael Davar‘s broad practice spans energy, shipping, international trade, infrastructure and financial industries; and newly promoted Gabriella Martin specialises in complex commercial disputes in the commodities, energy and shipping sectors.
