Areas of Practice
Contract disputes
Contracts form the basis of business relationships. A well-drafted contract can help the parties avoid disputes, but when issues do arise, we draw on our experience to provide clients with pragmatic advice that will help them make informed decisions.
Shareholder and partner disputes
Whether the business vehicle is a limited company, an LLP or a traditional partnerships, disputes between the owners of a business can be challenging for those involved. There is often an ongoing business that needs to be managed and preserved. Understanding the rights and obligations of those involved (which differ, depending on the form of the business) is key. We will push for the best outcome for our clients while trying to keep their emotions in check.
Claims against professional advisers
We handle professional negligence claims across various industries and professions including lawyers, financial advisers, pension specialists, surveyors and accountants. We act for claimants, not insurers.
