Commercial Litigation
LK represents clients in complex commercial and financial disputes and has successfully pursued and defended legal actions before some of the highest courts in the world, including the High Courts of Australia and the United Kingdom, the Privy Council and the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal.
Many of our cases involve actions across multiple jurisdictions – we are practiced with the legal and logistical issues that arise in this context and we have established working relationships with other firms and counsel around the world.
I would thoroughly recommend LK Law for any complex international commercial litigation. They achieve excellent results.
