About

Provided by DMH Stallard LLP

With an established reputation in this field, the lawyers in our Commercial Dispute Resolution and Litigation team are highly skilled in managing and resolving all types of corporate and commercial disputes. Operating across many sectors, our service is tailored and highly responsive to the needs of our clients as well as the nature of the dispute.

We are as effective at dealing with complex and high-value disputes as we are at dealing with more routine matters such as debt recovery; our focus remains on achieving practical outcomes with a real commercial advantage.

This large team has significant expertise across all major dispute types. Our clients include several of the world’s leading banks, a number of high profile professional services and educational establishments and well known corporate entities.  Our service extends to franchising disputes, fraud recovery, insurance disputes, professional negligence, defamation and reputation management.

Whilst being experienced and successful litigators, we also embrace mediation, arbitration and expert determination as ways of resolving disputes on pragmatic and commercial terms. All senior members of the team are accredited mediators or arbitrators including the head of our regional dispute resolution group, Simon Elcock, James Colvin and Clive Lee.  Jonathan Compton is an accredited arbitrator and is also dual-qualified as a barrister and solicitor.
