Zaiwalla & Co is a London-based law firm specialising in international disputes, the first law firm in the square mile of the City of London started by a solicitor born outside Europe. Over the past 40 years we have been involved in some of the highest-profile cases in the UK. Clients often come to us after finding they have lost the preliminary stages of their case having instructed a 'magic circle' law firm.
Many have been left with a costly judgment against them, a huge bill for legal fees and a feeling that their case was not given the due attention it required. Firstly, we focus Partner attention on each case we take on. All of our Partners have worked on some of the largest and most significant disputes in the UK Courts in recent years. Key decisions are not left to overworked and inexperienced junior lawyers.
Secondly, we commit to taking new and fresh approach to each of our client's matters. Time and again our team has won a case for a client and in the course of proceedings set a legal precedent.
