What the Team is Known For
LCF Law acts for both claimants and defendants in litigation concerning breaches of contract and warranty, along with shareholder claims and contentious insolvency matters. The firm has particularly specialist knowledge of utilities disputes while also representing clients across other industries, including both companies and private individuals.
Strengths
LCF demonstrated good collaborative work between departments. They were actively involved when needed and flexible when the direction of work changed.
I have yet to find a problem that they are not able to help me with. They are very aware of the balance between legal wants and the real-world commercial realities.
LCF Law is one of the best firms I know of when it comes to client awareness. They are always thinking of the best ways to help their clients in an intelligent and strategic way.
LCF Law will fight your corner tooth and nail, but importantly they are people first and lawyers second. They are very capable, technical lawyers who thrive on complex cases.
Collaboration is their best quality; they're very inclusive.
Work Highlights
LCF Law defended the former owner of a manufacturing business against claims issued in the Royal Courts of Justice for sums in excess of £10 million for alleged breaches of warranties and fraudulent misrepresentation.
