Dispute Resolution
Litigation and arbitration pursued with restraint where it is wiser and resolve where it is not.
Litigation is expensive, slow and public. It is also sometimes the only route left. We give an honest assessment of your position before you commit, including when a negotiated exit is worth more than a judgment you may wait years to enforce.
When a matter does proceed, it is run properly: pleadings that hold up, evidence assembled early, and realistic reporting on where the case stands.
What’s included
- Merits assessment with a candid view of the odds
- Pre-litigation notices and settlement negotiation
- Pleadings, applications and court representation
- Commercial and institutional arbitration
- Mediation and structured settlement talks
- Enforcement and execution of awards and decrees
How it runs
Assess the merits
A written view on the strength of the claim, the likely cost, and the realistic timeline before anything is filed.
Try to resolve it
A notice and a negotiation attempt, because most disputes settle better before positions harden.
File and pursue
If resolution fails, the matter is filed and run with regular reporting in plain language.
Enforce the result
A judgment is not the end. We follow through to recovery.
Common questions
Will you tell me if my case is weak?
Yes, and early. A client who spends two years and a large sum on an unwinnable claim has been failed by their lawyer, not by the court.
How long does a commercial dispute take?
It depends heavily on the forum and the conduct of the other side. We give you a realistic range at the outset and revise it as the matter develops rather than quoting a best case.
Do you handle arbitration as well as court litigation?
Yes, including institutional arbitration and ad hoc proceedings, plus the enforcement work that follows an award.
