Career

Clients from around the world trust Gordon McAllister to resolve their most complex and business-critical disputes. Gordon provides clear, commercial advice, counseling clients at all stages of their disputes: from advising on dispute prevention and avoidance strategies to obtaining and enforcing awards and judgments around the world.

Gordon is multilingual and qualified in three jurisdictions. He is often the first call for international businesses with issues arising under English or international law. He has worked on some of the largest litigation in the English High Court in recent years, including claims in excess of £1 billion, and some of the most complex international arbitrations, both commercial and investor-state.

Gordon has a track record of obtaining precedent-setting and frequently cited judgments, including in areas as diverse as competition law and the obligations of expert witnesses in English civil litigation.

Gordon is passionate about understanding clients’ businesses and works seamlessly as part of their teams, rather than as a traditional external counsel. He has experience across a wide range of sectors: aviation, finance, pharmaceuticals, transportation, logistics, and construction.

Gordon is a fellow of both the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. He is committed to pro bono matters and holds regular advice sessions at legal clinics in London. Gordon also has experience working at the Office of Capital Defense Counsel in Jackson, Mississippi.
