Dispute Resolution

Resolving conflicts through litigation, arbitration or negotiated settlement, whichever serves the client best.

Civil LitigationCommercial LitigationArbitrationMediationConsumer DisputesRecovery Proceedings

Litigation is a means, not a default. Every dispute file begins with an honest assessment of merits, cost and likely timeline, and a recommendation on whether to negotiate, arbitrate or sue.

Where proceedings are necessary we appear before civil and commercial courts, tribunals and arbitral panels, and we run recovery and consumer matters with the same discipline applied to high-value commercial suits.

Merits assessment first

A written view on strength, cost and timeline before proceedings are commenced.

Arbitration capability

Ad-hoc and institutional arbitration, including enforcement and setting-aside proceedings.

Settlement leverage

Mediated outcomes pursued from a position of preparation, not weakness.

Frequently asked questions

When is arbitration better than going to court?
Where the contract provides for it and the parties want confidentiality and a shorter, more controlled process. Enforcement considerations also matter, particularly in cross-border contracts.
Do you take recovery matters for smaller amounts?
Yes — through demand notices, summary suits and, where appropriate, consumer or tribunal routes that are proportionate to the sum involved.
