Disputes & Claims
Our Dispute Resolution Team of experienced, specialist lawyers is dedicated to helping you when disputes arise.
When you need urgent action we are quick and decisive. Where more strategic input is required, we will offer you pragmatic thoughtful solutions to avoid a dispute or mitigate risk with advice that is clear, concise and commercial.
Our experience covers the full range of disputes from the complex and high value to the more modest. We represent clients in the courts, arbitration tribunals and use alternative dispute resolution procedures, including mediation, to resolve disputes.
