We are a cadre of specialist litigators. We work with our clients to find the most effective route to resolving the disputes that inevitably arise during the course of business helping to quantify and manage risk and offering solutions driven advice. We actively work with our clients on litigation avoidance strategies. We appreciate how competitive the market place is for our clients and the challenging decisions that are having to be made as a consequence. We can help in pre-empting issues that might arise from those decisions.
Our philosophy is to place ourselves between our client and the problem and we never lose sight of the fundamental issue in each case that we take - what outcome does our client need to achieve - and that directs everything we do and how we do it.
We work with local, national and international clients. Business startups to multi-nationals, major banks, public sector bodies and utilities. Our litigators have the scope and flexibility to provide specific resourcing to our clients including placement of teams to work alongside in house teams on short and medium term secondment.
