Negotiation
We are acknowledged as skilled and experienced negotiators — being as tough or conciliatory as the circumstances require. We will work to negotiate the best settlement for you, usually without it ever going to court.
Mediation
Mediation is a way of settling disputes using a neutral third party. We are strong supporters of mediation as a good way of obtaining quick and commercial sound settlements, and are renowned for being highly successful at resolving disputes in this way.
Litigation
Litigation is the heavy weaponry of the dispute resolution process. We have represented clients in many complex and high-profile cases in the High Court and County Courts. All of our senior lawyers are Solicitor-Advocates and are specifically trained to manage the litigation process in a pragmatic and cost-effective manner.
Arbitration
Arbitration is frequently used as an alternative to litigation, especially for international disputes. It can be cheaper and quicker than court proceedings and allows the parties to keep their dispute private. We have expertise in both UK and international arbitrations.
