Dispute Resolution
Disputes in commercial dealings are inevitable and often complex, high-value, and resource-intensive. Our specialist lawyers have expertise across various dispute resolution methods and have handled some of the most challenging cases in the industry.
For clients pursuing or defending commercial litigation or arbitration, securing adequate funding is crucial. In cases where clients lack funds, third-party litigation funding may be available, depending on the claim’s value, success prospects, and opponent’s creditworthiness.
We deliver clear strategic advice, focused on achieving client objectives with practical, business-minded solutions, all within carefully planned timelines.
Our lawyers have worked on the following disputes:
