Commercial disputes

Disputes cost businesses time and money. We’ll always focus on what brings you the greatest advantage – in the most efficient way possible.

That might not mean going through the court process. Sometimes negotiation, arbitration or mediation are faster and more cost-effective ways to get the best result. But if we do need to go to court, you’ll find us tenaciously pursuing your best interests. As that can be an expensive process, in some circumstances, we can consider alternative funding arrangements or assisting with arranging third-party funding.

We’re highly experienced in resolving cross-border and multi-party disputes. Our team has represented clients on disputes in the County Court, High Court and Court of Appeal, the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeals Tribunal, before the European Commission and in arbitration proceedings (including LCIA).

We have also advised clients in relation to CMA, FCA and AIM regulation enquiries and investigations.
