Developing a winning strategy

We help clients develop a strategy that is consistent with their commercial goals, such as minimising reputation risk and maintaining business relationships, and aim to resolve the dispute as swiftly and cost effectively as possible.

Whether asserting rights or defending claims, we carefully assess the facts and merits of the case, and determine the underlying risks at an early stage and throughout the claim. Where possible, we endeavour to resolve the matter through negotiation or by using available alternatives such as arbitration and mediation.

When a commercial solution cannot be reached, we have an impressive track record of achieving results for clients through the courts. We vigorously pursue claims on behalf of clients and take all steps to defend their position.
