Overview
A dispute is rarely just a legal problem. It can affect cash flow, business relationships, reputation, family arrangements, assets, and future decision-making.
We help clients understand their legal position, assess the available evidence, and choose the right course of action. Where a firm response is required, we act in court proceedings, adjudication, arbitration, and enforcement. Where a practical resolution is possible, we help clients negotiate from a stronger position.
Areas We Handle
We act in a broad range of civil, commercial, and private client disputes.
Our work includes corporate and shareholder disputes involving directors, shareholders, business ownership, company affairs, breach of duty, fraud, forgery, conspiracy, and related commercial misconduct.
We also handle commercial and contractual disputes involving unpaid sums, debt recovery, service agreements, business arrangements, banking matters, professional negligence, and other civil claims.
For construction and payment-related matters, we assist with CIPAA claims, construction payment disputes, arbitral proceedings, and the enforcement of adjudication decisions or arbitral awards.
Our disputes practice also covers family, probate, and estate matters, including divorce-related disputes, estate administration, probate applications, will-related issues, and inheritance disputes.
Where court action is required, we act in injunctions, interlocutory applications, enforcement proceedings, appeals, and general civil litigation.
How We Approach Disputes
We focus on the strength of the documents, the available evidence, the client's objective, and the practical cost of each step.
Some disputes require immediate court action. Some are better handled through negotiation, adjudication, arbitration, or enforcement strategy. Our role is to help clients move with clarity, pressure, and purpose.
