Commenting on the appointment, Alan Davis said: "We are delighted to have been appointed to advise the UK Government on international trade disputes at this pivotal and exciting time in the development of the UK's independent trade policy.
"We are pleased to be working with BakerHostetler, Fasken and our other international consortium partners across the world to bring together our combined extensive experience in international trade law and dispute resolution."
Dr Totis Kotsonis said: “Avoiding and managing trade disputes effectively is an important element of any national trade policy. This is an exciting opportunity and we look forward to working closely with the UK Government to help navigate dispute resolution processes and substantive issues with a view to achieving successful outcomes for the UK."
