This user-friendly team focuses on traditional contractual disputes, and offers complementary expertise in professional negligence, regulatory and employment matters.
Chambers UK 2011

Our Dispute Resolution team is a widely acknowledged market leader and is consistently ranked in the top tiers of both Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 Directories.

Dispute resolution takes more than legal expertise as every case has its own specifics and sensitivities. When conflict arises it is essential to have professional advice from people who quickly see your point of view and promptly understand the ins and outs of your specific situation, no matter how intricate. 

All disputes are different and the advice we give you, and how it is delivered, will vary. That’s true whether your issue is personal or commercial, involves property, insurance or a potential breach of human rights. Whatever the dispute, we will get to the heart of the matter and agree a strategy to uphold your best interests.

We recognise that some disputes are best restored by amicable and cost effective settlement while others must be tackled with vigour. You also have the advantage that our practice is among the largest in the country.
