Whether you own or manage a start-up, SME or you are a part of a large multinational organisation, disputes within the business, with commercial partners or with third parties can prove a significant distraction from the everyday running of your business. Our Dispute Resolution team blends a wealth of experience in commercial disputes with user-friendly practical advice to help you achieve an effective, cost-efficient resolution.
Most commercial disputes settle before the parties are required to put their case before a court or tribunal. However that does not mean that all parties who settle a dispute feel they have had a ‘good deal’ and so presenting your case in the best way possible from the outset is crucial.
Our aim will always be to settle your dispute as quickly as possible on the best possible terms for your business but where a negotiated outcome is not possible, or the terms available are unattractive, we use the benefit of our extensive experience to assemble an expert team to guide you through the litigation process.
