Dispute resolution focused on outcomes, not positions.
Commercial disputes, mediation, arbitration and regulatory defence - run by lawyers who aim for resolution before they aim for court.
Most commercial disputes can be resolved short of litigation.
Litigation is expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable. We resolve most commercial disputes through structured negotiation or mediation - and when litigation or arbitration is unavoidable, we prepare the file for resolution, not for theatre.
Before work begins, we clarify the operating context, governance expectations, and commercial pressures behind the brief. That gives the engagement a clear purpose before technical analysis starts.
The result is a more complete advisory view: what matters now, where risk may surface next, and how recommendations can be implemented without creating unnecessary hand-offs or ambiguity.
Scope
Clarify the decision, deadline, stakeholders, and evidence standard before work begins.
Delivery
Combine partner judgement, technical review, and practical implementation planning in one workstream.
Follow-through
Convert findings into owners, actions, and next steps that leadership can track after the session.
Position paper
Written analysis of facts, legal theory, quantum and best / worst outcomes.
Structured negotiation
Counterpart engagement with a defined settlement envelope.
Mediation
CEDR or ICC-accredited mediator engagement where negotiation has stalled.
Arbitration / litigation
Where resolution remains out of reach, case management through to hearing.
Every dispute ends in a settlement or a judgement - the only question is how much time and cost passes before it gets there.
Commercial dispute brewing?
An early-stage position paper - typically 5-10 pages - will clarify likely outcomes before money is committed.
