Gateley’s dispute resolution team advises on a wide range of commercial and corporate disputes acting for a variety of clients from internationally known plcs through to individuals. We have a substantial national dispute resolution team, consisting of 120 dispute resolution lawyers encompassing all forms of dispute resolution.
When dealing with any piece of litigation, we recognise that our clients need to achieve commercial outcomes and deliver against organisational objectives. We are experienced in addressing these objectives for our clients, including:
- Managing regulatory risk: any issue for a client will have a wider regulatory context so litigation and regulatory risk need to be proactively managed
- Protecting our clients’ reputation: regardless of value, any individual matter can have a wider impact on a client's customer base, products and brand. We help to manage that risk by ensuring that a resolution is achieved.
- Providing cost certainty: we are committed to providing certainty and transparency of costs through a range of fixed, capped or staged fees which can be tailored to each client.
