Dispute Resolution and Litigation

You may not expect or budget for disputes but they do happen and all too often bring disruption, distraction and uncertainty. It’s our business to find commercially focused, cost effective and practical solutions to complex commercial and personal disputes - handled personally by our experienced Dispute Resolution Partners.

We advise across all major industries, professions and sectors, from national corporates, financial institutions, large and SME companies to professionals, trustees, charities and high net worth individuals. We resolve disputes by the use of negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation.

You will need to understand the risk, timescale and cost parameters of a dispute. We will provide you with an early evaluation including our assessment of the merits, your chances of success, anticipated costs and timescale. We will also keep these key metrics under regular review with you.

In addition to providing you with cost projections and budgets to help you manage and plan we offer fixed fees, flexible fees and in appropriate cases conditional fee arrangements.

It’s not only when things have gone wrong that we are here to help you - we are often involved in potential disputes behind the scenes and at an early stage to guide strategy, assess risks and costs and avoid escalation. We can also put agreements and structures in place to prevent disputes occurring in the first place.

We also offer management and board level training on dispute management and avoidance.
