Whether you are involved in a dispute that has arisen from a contract you seek to enforce or defend, or from other legal rights you or the other party may have, the team can help you to resolve it by agreement or, if that’s not possible, to achieve the best outcome through litigation or arbitration. Whilst the best approach is almost always to try to explore ways to settle the matter quickly before legal proceedings are commenced, they have a strong track record of litigating robustly and successfully to enforce or defend your rights, if that is what’s required.
