Lauded for its ‘unparalleled skill set in commercial litigation’ and ranked as a top litigation firm by both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500, FS Litigation is particularly well known for dealing with high-value, ‘big ticket’ litigation for national corporates and high net worth individuals who seek out the firm based on reputation and word-of-mouth recommendation alone. It is one of the few truly specialist litigation practices in the country. FS Litigation does not act for banks, insurers or other large institutions and prides itself on remaining conflict-free.

The firm’s lawyers have both national and international reputation being recommended in both Chambers and Legal 500 as ‘Leading Individuals’ or ‘Rising Stars’. Chambers notes the firm’s “pragmatic, practical and efficient approach” and “determined litigators with a very good sector knowledge.”, “Every team member demonstrates a quite remarkable depth of knowledge”. “FS Litigation offers a high concentration of “big hitters” in one firm – so that pretty much all of the solicitors are highly experienced and well-regarded….. The firm appears to be lean and efficient too – there is no “beast” to feed, so clients get a focused dispute resolution service with a high-value insight.”

Legal 500 notes: “FS Litigation is a firm that punches well above its weight and is particularly strong in the areas of financial services, pensions and tax schemes” adding that the team has “a deservedly good reputation for providing a top-quality, commercial service“. ‘A team of strong lawyers carrying out serious cases against London firms, and as good as any firm in the regions. It is a disputes only practice so every decision and recruitment is aimed at furthering that goal; essentially a boutique but from before the time firms started using that expression.’
