Cooke Young & Keidan

Cooke Young & Keidan is a London boutique firm for commercial contract disputes and international arbitration. It practises as a limited liability partnership.

Practice areas

Four areas are listed: commercial disputes, contractual disputes, interim relief and international arbitration. Interim relief covers urgent court orders such as freezing assets or preserving evidence, and it is often decisive in cases where money can move quickly. International arbitration is a common route in cross-border supply, distribution and service agreements, including those of payment businesses.

Markets

The base is the United Kingdom, and the work is described as covering international disputes. No individual jurisdictions are named beyond that, so the choice of governing law and seat should be reviewed with the firm.

Who it suits

Companies with a high-value claim under a commercial contract, businesses that expect an arbitration clause to be invoked, and payment providers in a dispute with a partner, bank or supplier may consider a boutique with a narrow focus. Fee arrangements, team structure and published case examples are not provided and should be requested.
