Eight practice areas. One firm. Every lawyer at CYK is a disputes specialist — not a generalist who does disputes on the side.
International and domestic commercial arbitration across all major institutional rules — ICC, LCIA, SIAC, UNCITRAL and ad hoc. We represent claimants and respondents in high-value multi-jurisdictional arbitrations, with experience across seat jurisdictions in London, Paris, Singapore, and beyond.
Discuss your matterComplex commercial litigation for corporates, financial institutions and other sophisticated parties. Breach of contract, misrepresentation, joint venture disputes, and multi-party claims in the English courts. We are regulars in the Business and Property Courts.
Discuss your matterShareholder disputes, unfair prejudice petitions, partnership dissolution, and contested corporate governance matters. We act for majority and minority shareholders, LLP members, and companies themselves — bringing an even-handed depth of experience to both sides.
Discuss your matterMulti-jurisdictional fraud investigations, asset tracing and recovery, civil fraud claims, and corruption-related disputes. We work closely with forensic accountants, overseas counsel, and enforcement agencies where required, pursuing assets across borders.
Discuss your matterBanking disputes, financial products litigation, regulatory enforcement matters, and FSMA claims. We act for and against financial institutions — giving us an unusually complete view of how the other side thinks and the arguments that actually work.
Discuss your matterCross-border insolvency litigation, office holder claims, transaction avoidance actions, and restructuring disputes. We act for liquidators, administrators, trustees, creditors, and directors facing challenge — across multiple insolvency regimes.
Discuss your matterDisputes involving cryptocurrency theft, exchange collapses, DeFi protocol failures, NFT fraud, and smart contract claims. A rapidly developing area of law — one we are at the forefront of in terms of both case law and strategic litigation tactics.
Discuss your matterCoverage disputes, professional indemnity claims, D&O litigation, business interruption, and reinsurance arbitrations. We act for policyholders and insurers, giving us visibility on coverage arguments from every angle.
