How we resolve your commercial disputes
Modern dispute resolution is designed to promote early settlement. We regularly help clients resolve challenging issues without setting foot in Court.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is usually a prerequisite to further action. This can resolve matters pragmatically, and quickly. As skilled negotiators and problem solvers, we understand how to get the best from ADR methods, such as mediation, arbitration and adjudication.
Litigation is a last resort, but you can be confident we'll fight hard if your case reaches court. We have a strong track record representing clients at all levels of the Court system, from the County Court to the Supreme Court and everything in between.
A structured dispute resolution process
Early advice is key to achieving the outcome you want. We take control of your dispute, with a co-ordinated approach that considers the whole picture – from initial strategy to the final outcome.
This is underpinned by clear timelines and proactive communication. You benefit from a structured and transparent process, so you know what to expect throughout.
Transparent fee arrangements
Costs are a prime consideration. We discuss the expected timeline and fees at the outset. Regular updates ensure there are no surprises and no hidden costs.
We can offer a range of funding options, including staged and fixed fees as well as working with your existing insurers where you have legal expenses insurance. In the right cases, after the event insurance can protect you from the risk of an adverse costs order.
