About us

Signature Litigation is a law firm founded in London in 2012 by senior lawyers with many years’ experience in leading international practices.

Our Team

Signature specialises in high value commercial litigation, international arbitration and investigations and white collar crime.

Headquartered in London with offices in Paris, Frankfurt and Gibraltar, Signature was founded to meet the increased demand for dedicated, highly specialist and independent advice, where the focus of a specialist firm yields superior results.

Signature suffers none of the distractions of much larger, full-service, law firms; our dedication to disputes and investigations removes most present and future conflicts from our work.

We achieve efficiency through our lawyers’ dedication, lean team structures, and a commercially minded approach that includes flexible, risk/reward sharing, value-focused fee arrangements and other innovative pricing solutions supported by our close relationships in the litigation funding space.

Our responsible adoption of the latest technological advancements enhances our ability to deliver a high-standard, cost-efficient service to our client. We have a partner-led knowledgeable team dedicated to internal coordination and development of efficient and safe practices for utilising these tools in the interests of our clients.

Our goal is to ensure clients receive a legal service that surpasses the best in our markets, delivered from a conflict-free, agile, results oriented and personable platform.

Our lawyers’ training comes from working in top tier UK, US and international law firms. Many have worked on some of the most significant and complex disputes in recent English legal history.

“Signature Litigation is a leading dispute resolution specialist with notable expertise in commercial litigation, commercial and investor-state arbitration, and fraud disputes.”

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Signature is committed to operating in a responsible and sustainable manner. We recognise the importance of minimising the environmental impact of our activities and we take practical steps to embed this commitment into the way it works.

Signature has, for several years, operated on an increasingly paperless basis. Client meetings, witness interviews and internal collaboration are routinely conducted by videoconference, reflecting both the international nature of our practice and a conscious effort to reduce travel and resource use. Where court and arbitral procedures permit, the firm promotes paperless processes and the use of virtual hearings. When hard-copy materials are required, efficient printing settings are used as standard and paper is recycled.

The firm provides the majority of its marketing and client-facing materials electronically. In line with a long-standing firm-wide practice, seasonal greetings are sent digitally, with the funds that would otherwise be spent on printing and postage donated to charity.

Signature keeps its environmental policies under regular review and continues to identify opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint. This includes engaging specialist advisers to assist in the development of a structured and effective carbon reduction plan, aligned with the firm’s values and the expectations of its clients.
