There are a wide variety of commercial disputes and, when faced with a business dispute, it is critical that you understand the likely impact of the dispute, what your options are, the likelihood of success and the costs involved. We will advise you on all of this but will go further and, whilst always appreciating that commercial decisions are yours to make, will provide you with recommendations on what we believe will be the most effective approach to achieve the best possible outcome.

We understand that clients will usually want to avoid litigation whenever possible and so our team is adept at practical problem solving, effective negotiation and pursuing alternative means of resolving the full range of problems associated with property. We also appreciate that sometimes the particular dispute must be viewed within the context of a wider commercial relationship. We are experts in all court processes but will only recommend litigation where that is likely to offer our clients the very best result. We are well versed in all forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and have qualified mediators amongst our partners.
