Dispute Resolution and Restructuring
We have appeared in some of the largest and most complex commercial disputes before the Supreme Court of Bermuda, as well as conducting appeals before the Court of Appeal for Bermuda and the Privy Council in London.
We act for both plaintiffs and defendants in a broad range of commercial disputes in the Bermuda courts and through arbitration. This includes acting in corporate disputes, including shareholder disputes, claims involving company directors, partnership disputes, claims by beneficiaries and against trustees, insolvency disputes (representing both insolvency practitioners and creditors), breach of confidence disputes, and claims against professionals among others.
We have experience dealing with applications for injunctive and other urgent relief, including freezing injunctions, anti-suit injunctions, and provisional liquidation appointments. We are also regularly involved in asset tracing and asset recovery proceedings, contested winding-up petitions, minority shareholder petitions, merger appraisal litigation and corporate governance disputes, as well as applications for the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitration awards, and for the production of evidence for use in foreign proceedings.
We also advise and represent creditors, liquidators, debtor companies and contributories in a broad range of insolvency and restructuring matters.
