In times of uncertainty and change, our responsive and experienced disputes lawyers offer an empathetic and solutions focussed approach, adapted to your specific needs.
Our team deals with complex disputes for individuals in many different areas, including family and matrimonial, reputation management and privacy, contentious probate and trusts, property, construction, agricultural and landed estates, employment, insolvency, corporate and commercial disputes, professional negligence, fraud and financial crime. Where personal disputes arise in a business context, we work seamlessly across disciplines, understanding where personal and business imperatives intersect. This ensures that our clients have access to the right specialist expertise, delivered in the right context.
We are as robust as we need to be, recognising that when sensitive personal disputes arise litigation may not always be the right answer. When appropriate, we support our clients to avoid litigation, by using mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Many of the disputes we advise on involve an international element. We have well-established links with over 100 law firms throughout the world and are able to support clients with disputes in multiple jurisdictions.
