We have extensive experience in running large, complex, commercial disputes in a range of areas. Our litigation clients include public companies, high net worth individuals, financiers and accounting firms. Our focus is on strategy and results, not process. We drive outcomes and don\u2019t just \u201cchurn fees\u201d. We keep out of Court where we can but when we go to Court, we are known as robust litigators who fight hard and win.<\/p>\n

We also don\u2019t have a front end corporate or finance practice which makes us free from the commercial and legal conflicts that prevent full service law firms from fighting as hard as is sometimes needed. We have the big firm pedigree yet can and do act against large banks, insurance companies and corporates.
