Your business needs to identify and manage risk to thrive. Strategic, commercial and timely advice are critical to your company’s reputation and success. As one of the largest disputes firms in the world, Reed Smith has garnered a reputation for comprehensive and international counsel and representation. Domestic and international disputes can be litigated or arbitrated either where you are headquartered or in any region where you operate.
Whether you require pre-contract risk management; targeted negotiation and alternative dispute resolution strategy; insurance coverage guidance; or assistance in hearings, motions, trials and appeals in courts around the globe, your business goals drive our strategy.
As trusted legal counsel to leading international businesses, we help you navigate the complexities of operating in this fast-paced, evolving marketplace, and guide you to solutions that align with your business objectives. We leverage a wealth of experience, strong commercial and project-management skills, and dedication to deliver value to our clients.
Whether you are facing a complex multi-party or multi-jurisdictional dispute, or a smaller, more specialized conflict, you need counsel with the knowledge, skills, experience and footprint to handle local or international concerns across a diverse range of sectors and industries. We have resolved disputes of all sizes and profiles, and many of our lawyers have extensive experience securing decisions and rulings in courtrooms and arbitration tribunals around the world. Let us be your advocates and keep your business on the move.
At Reed Smith, we are flexible and agile, acting quickly to protect risk to your business and navigate unavoidable delays that can have serious consequences. Our significant experience in emergency situations, including pre-emptive remedies such as injunctions and asset-tracing orders, is your advantage in fast-moving disputes. And, should you find yourself in litigation or arbitration in a more remote or unfamiliar jurisdiction, our first-hand experience and connections in coordinating such matters empower us to work with local counsel to find solutions.
We do not approach any dispute in isolation, but will work with you to identify and manage the related issues that may impact your company’s operational strength and financial well-being. We regularly provide counsel on sensitive reputation management issues and we also advise on the media, regulatory and governmental implications that accompany these matters. Our leading appellate and policyholder insurance coverage practices are always on hand to shape case strategy and guide you through any claims you may have or face.
Above all, from the outset, we partner with you to manage disputes in a way that mitigates the day-to-day impact on your business while achieving the best results possible. Every step of our service has this goal in mind, and we proudly leverage innovative resources, technology, staffing, e-discovery, strategy, negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, and any other needs your dispute requires.
