About

Provided by VWV

Our litigation and dispute resolution team specialises in helping businesses to resolve commercial and  often complex disputes in the most efficient and cost effective way.

Although sometimes unavoidable, we recognise that litigation through the courts can be a costly and time consuming process. As a consequence, much of our work is targeted either at avoiding formal litigation (for example, by way of alternative dispute) or in providing our clients with different options to fund litigation.

As a full service law firm, we regularly advise clients on: 

  • Contract disputes
  • Debt recovery
  • Insolvency disputes
  • Procurement disputes
  • Professional negligence claims
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Reputation management and defamation
  • Business owner disputes, including partnership and shareholder dispute
  • Healthcare disputes
