Disputes and Litigation
We are experienced litigators and pragmatic problem solvers. We are renowned for a collaborative approach to resolving disputes quickly, effectively and cost effectively. When a dispute cannot be side-stepped or resolved through negotiation, we have the right expertise on hand to fight your corner.
Most of our litigation partners are CEDR Accredited Mediators and advocates for the strategic use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms as an alternative to litigation.
We have exceptional experience in resolving complex disputes, advising businesses, indemnifiers, public entities, substantial corporates and financial institutions.
