Litigation

Our department attracts key clients due to our:

• Intelligent and effective use of electronic platforms to assess, interrogate and utilise dispute evidence and data;
• Incisive approach which does not require all evidence to be available before making liability calls; and
• Impressive use of instinct and common sense gained from extensive experience, which allows our lawyers to “join the dots” or “fill in the blanks”.

The team provides advice on a vast range of issues including:

• Breach of directors’ duties, shareholder and partnership disputes,
• Commercial contract disputes, to include interim injunction applications,
• Insurance disputes, particularly in relation to policy coverage and interpretation-(Mukesh Patel has extensive experience in the insurance litigation field).
• Professional negligence claims,
• Property litigation claims,
• Restrictive covenant and warranty claims,
• Claims arising out of insolvent businesses such as claims based upon preferences and transactions at an undervalue
• Financial services disputes,
• Construction disputes,
• Trust issues.
