About our dispute resolution team

We aim to build long term strategic relationships with our clients, and gain a thorough understanding of their business, culture and practices. This enables us to add value for you by delivering tailored, proactive, responsive, commercially pragmatic and frequently imaginative advice and strategy. 

We understand the importance of cost effective and timely advice to achieve the best overall outcome for our clients. We aim to resolve matters as quickly as possible through commercial negotiations, or alternative dispute resolution (including arbitration, adjudication and mediation).

Where alternative resolution is not possible, we’re equally comfortable taking matters to trial where we will robustly defend your interests.
