The Litigation & Dispute Resolution Department has at its very core the value that results matter.
We both defend and issue legal claims for our clients in respect of all manner of contentious issues, ranging from debt recovery to major injunctions. We advise our clients on disputes relating to commercial contracts, buildings and property, sale of goods, banking and mortgage fraud and insolvency. We also deal with judicial review, contentious probate, directors’ disqualification and bankruptcy. We aim to add value to our case management and advisory work for clients by gaining in-depth knowledge of their trade or profession; we have expert knowledge of trade sectors such as Property Development, Wholesale Cash and Carry, Commodities and Diamond trading, Aerospace, Overseas development, Travel, internet and other retail. We regularly act for high net worth private clients and corporations in high value litigation often against opponents whom have instructed large City firms.
The Litigation team prides itself on being able to mobilise with speed and act as tenaciously as the client’s needs and case demands and this is one of the reasons for the firms location adjacent to the High Court. We have for example obtained an out of hours emergency worldwide freezing injunction for one of our clients in circumstances which required overnight preparation of affidavits and attendance upon a Judge at his private residence followed by immediate enforcement action and further attendance the next morning at the High Court. We ensure that we provide the best possible outcome for our clients by conducting in depth investigation and research into the realistic prospects of a case before selecting the appropriate course of action in order to reduce time and expense. Liability for costs is always an issue in litigation and based on our extensive litigation experience we provide our clients with as much strategic, practical as well as carefully considered legal advice in order to ensure the minimum risk possible in respect of costs.
Where appropriate we encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution (such as mediation and without prejudice negotiation) and our negotiation skills are first class. If early settlement at advantageous terms is not possible, we are extremely experienced and capable at navigating our clients through the litigation process. Clients hire us because of our extensive experience in all areas, and especially because of our litigation experience – when necessary, we know when to go to court and we know how to litigate.
