Now solely focused on disputes work, following the separation with the corporate team at legacy Georgiou Payne Stewien, the newly configured Georgiou Partnership provides a focused offering to local and international clients across a myriad litigation and arbitration in the sector. In this regard, clients benefit from a cost-effective service, in part due to the firm's willingness to provide staged fixed-fees as well as its ability to represent clients, at times without recourse to counsel as a result of higher rights of audience among many senior team members. A 'talented litigator and advocate who can stand toe-to-toe with any of the top litigators in town’, team head Phillip Georgiou is key to the firm's success in the market and 'possesses extensive knowledge in the construction and engineering fields'. Georgiou's contentious construction work has recently included a spike in work from Russian stakeholders on Hong Kong-seated arbitration/litigation (as they are now seeking firms with English law qualifications outside of the UK) as well as a continued flow of work for Korean stakeholders on litigation as well as those involved in construction and engineering projects in the Middle East.
Testimonials

‘Georgiou Partnership is a charming boutique that offers a personal touch and exceptional flexibility in meeting client’s needs.'
‘It is an overused term, but Georgiou Partnership LLP genuinely "punches above its weight" in terms of its relative size compared to its capabilities. The firm could masterfully take on a large and complex litigation or arbitration notwithstanding its modest size.'
