What We Do...
The firm's reputation is built on its litigation, and corporate and commercial expertise.
LITIGATION
The Litigation department handles complex and often highly sensitive cases which cover a vast range of work. The corporate litigation division covers bank recoveries, fraud investigations, white-collar crime, employment disputes, directors' and officers' liability, minority shareholder actions, insolvencies, insurance disputes, trade finance disputes, land-based litigation, property and construction contracts, partnership disputes and commercial issues. Contentious disputes on which the firm advises include defamation, breach of confidence and privacy issues, contempt and intellectual property. Employment advice is given on contract disputes, wrongful and unfair dismissal, employment law, disciplinary hearings and advice on drafting personnel policies. Consideration is always given to Alternative Dispute Resolution.
