Ben BRUTON
Ben is head of London’s litigation practice. He has 25 years of international dispute resolution, investigations and financial crime experience, having handled high-stakes disputes for several FTSE 100 and S&P 500 companies across many jurisdictions including in the London courts, the UAE courts, and a range of arbitral seats.
Prior to joining the firm, Ben was managing partner and head of dispute resolution at the UAE office of a leading UK international law firm.
Ben was ranked as one of only two lawyers by Financial News as a “Top 100 Rising Star of the City” in recognition of his work on disputes arising out of the global financial crisis. Ben is recommended in Legal 500 UK where clients say he is a “master of litigation” and a “formidable”, “premier international litigator” with “outstanding judgement”. Sources add he has an “unassuming style that prevents deadlocks and helps resolve deadlocks if they occur”. He adds “tremendous value to his clients” with his “international experience and sensitivity to cultural and regional nuances”.

Ben is head of London’s litigation practice. He has 25 years of international dispute resolution, investigations and financial crime experience, having handled high-stakes disputes for several FTSE 100 and S&P 500 companies across many jurisdictions including in the London courts, the UAE courts, and a range of arbitral seats.\r\n
\r\n
Prior to joining the firm, Ben was managing partner and head of dispute resolution at the UAE office of a leading UK international law firm. \r\n
\r\n
Ben was ranked as one of only two lawyers by Financial News as a “Top 100 Rising Star of the City” in recognition of his work on disputes arising out of the global financial crisis. Ben is recommended in Legal 500 UK where clients say he is a “master of litigation” and a “formidable”, “premier international litigator” with “outstanding judgement”. Sources add he has an “unassuming style that prevents deadlocks and helps resolve deadlocks if they occur”. He adds “tremendous value to his clients” with his “international experience and sensitivity to cultural and regional nuances”.
