Dispute Resolution overview

No matter what your dispute, we have a specialist who can help you resolve it

We handle increasingly complex, valuable and sizeable disputes for our clients. To this end, our Dispute Resolution group of 24 partners and 80 solicitors is designed to be able to provide a sector-based specialist for every dispute.

We have a track record of delivering solutions through proactive risk management/claims avoidance, litigation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Increasingly, litigation is no longer seen as the only route to protecting or defending a commercial position and our group includes experts in both mediation and international arbitration.

We are also market leaders in defending multi-party litigation and are recognised as one of the leading defendant law firms in group litigation.

A complex domestic claim, multi-jurisdictional litigation, a regulatory investigation - whatever the nature of your dispute, we have the strength in depth, covering a broad range of industry sectors, to get the job done - see Related Links in the right hand column.
