Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Business disputes arise from time to time. Resolving them is our business. Our lawyers begin by developing an understanding of the client’s business and strategic objectives, in order to work with them to develop solutions to prevent or resolve disputes in an effective and cost sensitive way. Our lawyers have handled matters in the courtroom and boardrooms with proven results in the transactional and litigation arenas. We represent clients in virtually all kinds of disputes in all courts, tribunals and special court proceedings, and we have helped our clients secure important victories.

Whether the business is local, national or international, we know disputes can be disruptive to the core business, and result in unwanted costs. When disputes escalate into litigation or arbitration proceedings, clients can count on us to aggressively represent their interests, protect their position, and pursue the remedies that are most appropriate to the case. Our practice is national in scope with appearances in various court registries and tribunals at both trial and appellate levels, as well as in arbitrations and mediations.
