Hogan Lovells US LLP

Litigation

Partner

Ivan Shiu is a Hogan Lovells partner who focuses his practice on general commercial litigation and the developing area of competition litigation in the United Kingdom. Although drawn from a wide range of industry sectors and regions, Ivan's clients tend to have two things in common. First, they are on one or other side of an actual or potential dispute. Ivan has extensive experience of helping clients to navigate what can be complex, trying and unfamiliar territory, always conscious that the best solution for a client might be out of court. Secondly, they are usually international clients. Ivan speaks Spanish, French, and Cantonese and regularly works with and for clients in those languages, either because a dispute is before the English Courts or because they are considering their rights in foreign jurisdictions.

Ivan has a growing practice in the developing area of data protection and privacy litigation before the English Courts, having successfully defended the largest representative action issued in the English Court in terms of alleged class size and potential claim value. Clients facing claims for breaches of data protection law face a rapidly-evolving body of case law, about which Ivan regularly writes and presents, and often a need for coordinated action across various European and other jurisdictions.

Ivan also regularly advises clients on pre-litigation strategy and risk management issues and has advised on many U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and internal investigations for U.S. clients in relation to their operations in Europe.
