Commercial disputes happen to -or threaten- all organisations from time to time. The appropriate response may be aggressive or conciliatory. Speed may be vital. The starting-point must be objective, level-headed advice about all options with emphasis on preventing the dispute from escalating or terminating the dispute. We set out to analyse the facts, the law and the procedure with four principles in mind: clear thinking, plain English, cost-effectiveness and common sense. Preserving commercial relations where possible is very important. This we combine with giving realistic costs estimates and an idea of how long it will take to achieve your objectives.

Our dispute resolution team aims to establish a clear objective and then, in collaboration with you, work with enthusiasm and conviction towards achieving the set objective, adopting a constructive hands-on approach which encourages the flow of information and ideas. While at the same time maintaining dispassionate realism about a case’s strengths and weaknesses in discussions with you.

Whatever the nature of the problem, our dispute resolution team will advise on the best course of action, from litigation, judicial review, arbitration to alternative dispute resolution. Within our dispute resolution team there is the expertise and the resources to get results and we get results.
