Dispute Resolution
This long-established and highly regarded team deals with all kinds of disputes that are managed, negotiated, and, where necessary, litigated rigorously. We have a very straightforward approach to the resolution of disputes: we want our clients to win. That doesn't always mean charging off to the Courts at a moment's notice: it means using all the knowledge, experience and innovation in the practice to establish what a win is for the client in the specific circumstances.
The work done ranges from multi-million pound commercial disputes, to disputes involving private individuals.
The legal reference guides Chambers UK and Legal 500 say that the team is "commercial and practical in its analysis and expeditions, and has never fallen down on challenges." Head of team Simon Young "inspires confidence" in his clients and is "an accomplished negotiator, particularly admired for his work in high-value claims."
We have extensive expertise in all forms of alternative dispute resolution including mediation, adjudication and arbitration, to find and negotiate solutions to disputes as cost effectively as possible.
Should litigation be unavoidable, we have the toughness and single-mindedness that is rooted in our extensive experience of managing the litigation process.
