Milberg London

Milberg London LLP is a claimant-focused litigation boutique founded in 2020 by partners with over 15 years of experience in London’s leading law firms. The firm is renowned for acting for claimants in group actions, competition claims, and commercial litigation. Its team has extensive experience handling complex, high-value disputes, drawing on a commercial pedigree forged in some of the largest cases in London.

The firm’s partners include James Oldnall, Polly Blenkin, Edward Cardington, James Taylor, and Nicola Vinovrški, whose prior work at Mishcon de Reya and Clyde & Co involved high-profile and technically complex disputes, including representation of former owners of Liverpool Football Club and large institutional defendants.
