Dispute resolution

We can help you resolve business disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation. Our aim is to achieve resolution quickly and efficiently and to minimise the impact of a dispute on your day-to-day operations.

Where possible, we try to settle disputes without recourse to legal proceedings. However, when this is unavoidable, our very experienced and tenacious team will vigorously pursue a strategy set to achieve a successful outcome for you.

Clients in manufacturing, service industries, retail plcs, owner-managed businesses, accountants and other professionals rely on our clear, pragmatic advice, expert technical analysis and sound understanding of their business problems and commercial objectives.
