London

Mike's primary area of expertise is in banking and financial services disputes arising from lending, hedging, regulated sales and private equity. Mike also advises in a wide range of commercial disputes, typically including cross jurisdictional issues.

Attentive and user-friendly with clients and counsel, while being ruthless with the opposition. Mike is vastly experienced, endlessly energetic, and obsessed with fighting his client’s corner in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.

Legal 500 - 2022

I would thoroughly endorse Mike, and the rest of his litigation team, for their significant contribution to us in the face of a highly complex and challenging process. With his formidable experience as a leading litigator, aligned with his creativity, calmness and standout intellect, Mike is rightly considered to be one the best in the business.

Michael Hawthorne grasps the complexities of a case extremely quickly.
