About us

Charles Fussell & Co LLP was established in 2007 as a pure disputes practice.  The firm is led by former barrister and Herbert Smith litigator, Charles Fussell, with support from solicitors and staff with litigation experience gained from leading City firms. We believe in staffing cases with small and efficient teams and focusing our efforts on problem solving and understanding the commercial context of the dispute.

The bulk of our practice involves large-scale commercial claims and arbitration, often with an international element.  We provide a partner-led dedicated service to our clients. 

As the firm focuses only on contentious matters we are much less constrained than our competitors on the type of entity we can act against. Commercial conflicts are becoming an ever increasing problem with many larger law firms and we pride ourselves on being conflict-free.

We are frequently instructed by other full-service law firms both in London and internationally to assist their clients on contentious matters.

We pride ourselves on going the extra mile for our clients and being prepared to guide them through every step of the dispute resolution process.

We are also registered to appear before the Courts of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
