Commercial Dispute Resolution
Dispute resolution is at the very heart of what we do. We understand the strain that disputes put our clients under and our dispute resolution team work tirelessly to understand the full legal context of your position to understand how we can assist. We are at home with handling the smaller commercial cases, while we also have an unbroken history of handling the very complicated cases.
The cases we take on range from a relatively simple contractual dispute to some of the most complex cases against the largest companies, institutions and insurers in the world. We regularly advise on your chances of success and guide you through settlement or mediation. At the other end of the scale we can conduct full-blown litigation depending on what is best for you.
Our litigation case management is second to none. When necessary we can marshal our network of investigators, legal counsel and expert witnesses to maximum effect, analysing, huge volumes of documents, all the while communicating with you to reinforce the strength of your position and manage the time and cost profile.
