At Lovells we have considerable experience of advising clients on disputes arising in the commodities sector - on physical and futures trades in crude and refined products, gas and power, metals, coal, and grain and other soft commodities.  Our team is drawn from lawyers throughout our European and Asian offices and from New York.  We are recognised as a market leader in this field and Chambers and Partners 2008 Directory states “Lovells really understands the market".

We represent clients in court, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution procedures.  Also, we represent clients in connection with the insolvency of companies whose business is primarily in commodities, and in disputes with (and disciplinary proceedings brought by) exchanges and regulators.

In recent years the carbon market has grown considerably.  We have a carbon markets and renewable energy group that advises on carbon trading, projects, disputes and regulatory compliance.
