Hausfeld

Hausfeld is an international litigation firm handling commercial and financial disputes, civil fraud and class actions. The London office is at 12 Gough Square.

Services

The company lists commercial disputes, financial disputes, civil fraud, international arbitration and collective actions. Civil fraud and financial disputes are the areas most relevant to payment and banking participants, for example when funds have been diverted or when a claim arises from the way a financial product was sold or operated.

Geography

The service geography covers the United Kingdom, the United States and international disputes. The last item indicates cross-border matters that are not tied to one court system, though the company does not give a list of specific jurisdictions.

Practical notes

Collective actions and arbitration usually involve multiple parties and long timelines, so budgeting and funding questions should be raised early. Hausfeld does not publish fees; the cost model and the team for a particular case have to be clarified directly with the firm.
