We conduct early case assessments, advise on risk and settlement strategies, gather evidence and represent clients in negotiations, mediations, arbitrations and court proceedings. Our team prepares witness statements, manages disclosure and works with experts to strengthen your case.
Our litigation practice covers a wide range of disputes, including breach of contract, professional negligence, shareholder and partnership disputes, intellectual property infringement, debt recovery, construction claims, product liability, fraud and insolvency proceedings. We follow pre‑action protocols and draft detailed letters of claim and responses to clarify issues and encourage settlement. When litigation is unavoidable, we prepare and file claims and defences, manage disclosure of documents, and coordinate electronic discovery. We work with experts in accounting, engineering, valuation and other disciplines to build compelling evidence. Our lawyers conduct advocacy in court or instruct specialist counsel where necessary. We manage settlement negotiations and mediations, seeking to resolve matters quickly and cost‑effectively. When appropriate, we pursue or defend interim applications for injunctions, freezing orders or specific performance. We also handle appeals and enforce judgments domestically and abroad, including registering foreign judgments and applying for recognition. Throughout, we provide cost budgeting and regular updates so you can make informed decisions.
A clear litigation strategy minimises disruption, contains costs and enhances the prospects of a favourable outcome. Our focus on negotiation and mediation often resolves disputes before trial, preserving commercial relationships.
An early assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your case allows you to plan effectively and decide whether to settle or fight. By following pre‑action protocols, we demonstrate reasonableness and may recover costs. Efficient case management reduces time spent on litigation and helps control legal fees. By exploring alternative dispute resolution, we often achieve settlements that preserve relationships and allow parties to continue doing business together. When trial is necessary, our thorough preparation, including robust evidence and expert testimony, increases the likelihood of success. Enforcement guidance ensures that you realise the benefit of a favourable judgment. Overall, our approach minimises business disruption, protects your reputation and safeguards your financial interests.
