Our dedicated Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution team have a wide range of experience in resolving legal disputes.
We increasingly regard our role as helping clients avoid, or at least minimise, involvement in disputes. We measure our success, as much in terms of resolved problems as victories in court.

If you are involved or anticipate being involved in a dispute, we can analyse the situation, provide a risk assessment, advise you on your position and work with you to find the best way to move forward.
This can range from a conciliatory and low-key approach to a much more robust and aggressive stance if that’s what the situation and your best interests demand. We recognise that an unnecessarily prolonged dispute can be counter-productive, not only in excessive legal costs, but also in terms of wasted time and damage to business and personal reputations and relationships. We are also happy to discuss possible funding arrangements, including in appropriate cases, a no win, no fee agreement.
