Top 100 International Private Client Litigation Lawyers 2023
The Top 100 International Private Client Litigation Lawyers 2023 is a research-led list highlighting the ‘need to know’ litigation lawyers in the wealth management and private client industries.
So who do trustees turn to when litigation arrives on their doorstep or on the other side of the coin when families or entrepreneurs are no longer happy with their advice or service? Citywealth conducted a research programme over several months to create a Top 100 private client litigator list fit for purpose. One of the key questions asked was: who has impressed you most during current or past litigations? Their answers have revealed a list of peer recommended litigators who have negotiated with the toughest opponents, through the hardest circumstances and with very little on their side but brains, lateral thinking and a will to win.
American style litigation comes to Europe
Citywealth believes that 2023 is the year that American litigation culture hits Europe, however what must be pointed out to the casual observer here though is that litigations, despite sometimes, requiring a formidable approach, can take years to resolve and as one wise New York lawyer once said “running out of money is sometimes the best way to bring a long running dispute to an end”. The research on this list and their cases will reveal just such a situation with one case taking 40 years and counting (20 years to reach the first conclusion and 20 more years to re-fight it), however as even the best arbitrators and mediators in the world have also said “sometimes everyone needs litigation.” This may mean that a case is 90% agreed, but one point cannot be agreed upon. Litigation is a tried and trusted method that has its place in the world even with the most agreeable and mild-mannered lawyer or client.
We hope you find this curation, as exciting as we do. It is a well-considered one, the list is dealing with top of the world cases including Royal families, government bodies and persons of interest accused of fraud. Everyone appearing here is a Citywealth ‘Magic Circle’ selection.
As well as surveying this list, we ask you, if you use or know these lawyers or barristers to let us learn more by leaving a review on their page to tell us about your experiences and rate them on fees; technical expertise; interpersonal and communication skills. But, if choosing a lawyer from this selection, keep in mind, as one of our respondents said “I don’t think there is any lawyer or barrister who is the right choice for every type of case” which underlines the need to be realistic in your expectations:, realise it is risk taking, needs financing, but also that sometimes in life and business there is little choice but to protect your position, even if the cookie, in the end, doesn’t crumble your way.
Our Top 100 International Private Client Litigation Lawyers 2023 is based on independent research conducted by Citywealth.
