Conflict and disputes are facts of life.
When legal disputes arise, they typically involve exposure to multiple risk factors, which can have a substantial impact on the wellbeing of individuals and businesses alike.
For that reason, Litigation and Dispute Resolution has always been at the heart of what we do, as a Firm.
We have a large, multi-disciplinary team of litigators of more than 45 lawyers and are capable of handling almost any contentious issue. The team takes a joined-up, collective approach, which allows us to draw on the deep specialist knowledge of lawyers across the firm.
