Dispute Resolution

Whether business or personal, any dispute can be stressful. 

In today's environment of international competition and increasing regulation, commercial disputes and the resulting litigation can be hard to avoid.  These disputes are an unwelcome distraction from business life and need to be resolved as effectively and quickly as possible. 

Personal disputes, related to an individual's private or business dealings, are often highly emotive in their very nature.  The law is complex and it can be hard to view the issues rationally, which is why clear and objective legal advice is required from the outset.

Our team acts quickly to assimilate the facts and explain the options - the means of resolution are as diverse as the issues themselves.  They do not automatically revert to the courtroom to resolve disputes, but take an aggressive or measured approach as appropriate, and in many instances the most notable successes are those known only to the parties involved.

Handling complex and often highly sensitive cases both national and international, a network of experts is utilised to provide comprehensive advice in areas as diverse as bank recoveries, fraud investigations and defence, white-collar crime, employment disputes, directors’ and shareholders’ liability, minority shareholder actions, insolvencies and reorganisations, insurance disputes, trade finance disputes, breach of contract, property and construction contracts, partnership disputes, tax investigations, Regulatory and commercial issues.  Specialist groups also advise on defamation, breach of confidence and privacy issues, public advocacy, contentious trust and probate, contempt and intellectual property.
