Birkway is a conflict-free dispute resolution law firm covering the broader spectrum of corporate and commercial dispute resolution. Examples of our advisory work concern the structuring of several cross-border cartel claims, investor, data protection and consumer claims. Our regulatory compliance expertise extends to AML/CFT and administrative enforcement-related dispute resolution, where our clients include fintech, investment management companies and trust offices.
Pioneering is part of our DNA. Our lawyers have been involved (in various roles) in cutting-edge litigation and collective settlements, including (WCAM) Shell settlement, (WCAM) Converium settlement, State Lottery collective settlement, (WCAM) Fortis settlement, SNS Bank nationalisation claim, ‘dieselgate’ emissions scandals-related litigation.
We act in the jurisdictions most favourable to our clients and to that end we often team up with other law firms and experts. This approach is aimed at one clear objective, achieving the best results for our clients. Examples of this approach include Madoff, Icesave, Steinhoff securities litigation, Trucks cartel, BP investor litigation.
Our team has a firm track record in corporate, commercial and finance litigation. Moreover, no other European law firm matches the combined experience of our team in the field of mass claim dispute resolution. Our lawyers have been involved in pan-European and global litigation of all kinds.
We are able to scale up quickly depending on the needs of the case. We can draw on additional resource for legal work, but we also have an excellent network of experts who provide us with support on technical issues, PR matters, forensic consultants and investigative experts.
Our lawyers have an unrivalled knowledge of third-party litigation funding in Europe and globally, having worked for and with most of the well-known finance providers. Since ‘no win no fee’ arrangements are prohibited for lawyers in most European jurisdictions, we use our experience and network to help our clients find the best way to fund the costs of legal fees and insure against adverse cost risk. We will look at all forms of alternative funding, including fixed fees and other flexible arrangements, such as Birkway sharing some of the risk, in line with relevant rules of professional conduct.
