About

Our highly skilled Dispute Resolution & Litigation lawyers work closely with our clients to achieve the best possible results.

 

The team’s collaborative approach and commitment to our clients helps them achieve a practical and cost-effective way forward, while navigating the sensitive nature of the matters under dispute.

 

We understand the need for quick, cost-effective solutions to disputes. This is why we look to alternative dispute resolution options first, including mediation and arbitration.

 

If matters do proceed to litigation, then we are well equipped to successfully prosecute or defend our clients in court proceedings.

 

As well as a dedicated Dispute Resolution & Litigation team, we have leading lawyers in this field embedded within each of our main capability areas. This means we have the expertise to deal with every type of dispute, from construction and property through to workplace and insolvency disputes.
