WHO WE ARE

Founded by Ed Floyd and Luke Zadkovich in 2017, Floyd Zadkovich is now a global team of over 30 ambitious lawyers.  We approach our work differently to large-scale multi-service firms.  We take pride in our sector focus.  We apply our deep industry knowledge to creative legal thought, to get results that matter for our clients.

We are trusted advisors to global organisations across the world of international trade.  We act for household names across the energy, commodities, maritime, logistics, insurance and commercial sectors.  From elite dispute work to bespoke advisory instructions, we forge long term partnerships with our clients.

With offices in New York, London, Chicago, Sydney and Houston, our approach is inherently international.  We are at our best where matters are complex and the issues cross borders.

In the increasingly uncertain world of international trade, we provide clients with certainty.  We are not afraid to give confident opinions, clear advice and compelling reason.
