With a strong reputation for dynamic and robust litigation, our dispute lawyers achieve the best commercial outcome for our clients whilst minimising the cost, damage and disruption to their businesses.
Our commercial litigators represent our clients in many complex, high-value, and multi-jurisdictional disputes in the courts, in the tribunals and in alternative dispute resolution forums including mediation. They work closely with our clients to develop bespoke strategies to resolve matters quickly before, during, or after a crisis. If a commercially appropriate resolution is not possible, our lawyers use their wealth of contentious experience to litigate aggressively in order to bring about the right outcome.
While there is no such thing as a typical dispute, the areas in which our lawyers have assisted our clients include (but are not limited to):
- Commercial contract.
- Property and rights relating to land.
- Partnership and shareholder.
- Defamation and reputation.
- Harassment.
- Intellectual property.
- Privacy and confidential information.
- Fiduciary duty.
- Professional negligence.
- Debt recovery.
- Bankruptcy and insolvency.
- Risk advice.
- Trespass v. Nuisance
- Enforcement of foreign judgments
The Dispute Resolution and Litigation Team is completely focused on achieving one thing – the best result for our clients. They pride themselves on their responsiveness and pragmatic business advice, and will always try to ensure that existing commercial relationships are conserved and not irretrievably damaged.
