Commercial litigation

We act for clients before the courts and also resolve contentious matters before they reach the court stage. Matters of this kind are often diverse and complicated.

Since the introduction of the Commercial Court, a division of the High Court set up specifically for commercial cases, proceedings can be dealt with relatively quickly. The rules of that court were designed to give it greater flexibility over the cases before it, and it is common for the court to adjourn matters to facilitate mediation, conciliation or arbitration. We have experience of all of these forms of dispute resolution.

We use structured case procedures to make sure that every step is dealt with in as timely and orderly a manner as possible.
