Business & contractual disputes
Disputes are seriously disruptive and can be critical to a business. We work to ensure they have limited impact on yours and are resolved quickly and efficiently — thinking outside the box, with commercially focused strategy at every step.
Make an enquiryOur approach
We deliver commercially focused results through strategic planning around your business needs. Pre-action protocols usually help identify and narrow the issues, and we actively encourage suitable forms of alternative dispute resolution — mediation or otherwise — because litigation is expensive and should be the last resort.
Our policy is to use our best efforts to negotiate the best settlement, which saves clients substantial money. When litigation is genuinely your last resort, you are assured a strategic plan, swift and decisive action, and meticulous preparation and execution — with the door to settlement kept open even after proceedings begin.
Our personnel's experience includes Shinedean Ltd v Alldown Demolition (London) Ltd & AXA Insurance UK plc, litigated in the Technology and Construction Court and the Court of Appeal before the Master of the Rolls ([2006] EWCA Civ 939).
