Watson, Farley & Williams LLP was established in 1982. It is an international commercial law firm recognised for its excellence in finance and investment work, including banking, structured and asset financing, private equity and fund investment, particularly in the transport, energy and natural resource sectors.

Through its international network, the firm's lawyers are able to advise on many legal systems including English, French, German, Greek, Russian, Italian, Thai, New York and US federal law. The offices work closely together, a structure of particular benefit to international clients.

We are an energetic and enterprising law firm committed to providing the highest possible levels of service. A major strength of our dispute resolution practice is the international nature of the disputes we regularly handle. This has given us unrivalled experience with legal issues presented by disputes that involve different systems of law and require dispute management across numerous foreign jurisdictions.

We regularly act on very substantial international disputes. Our clients are often major corporations such as Hydro Aluminium, Vivendi, Royal Bank of Scotland, Moscow Oil Refineries, JPMorgan Chase and Calyon. We also regularly act in disputes between commercial parties and governments. For example we recently successfully represented the government of Pakistan in High Court proceedings.

Other offices: New York, Paris, Hamburg, Munich, Rome, Milan, Athens, Piraeus, Singapore and Bangkok.
