Litigation as a last resort
Unlike almost every other aspect of your business, litigation can involve an unpredictable outcome, an uncertain timetable and have no clear budget. For these reasons, we encourage clients to look for alternative means of resolving disputes whether by arbitration, mediation or simply by round table meetings.
Tough when we need to be
Sometimes litigation cannot be avoided. In such circumstances, we offer lawyers with experience of conducting matters from the Magistrates' Court to the House of Lords and who are able to guide you through the procedural hurdles and, most importantly, to dictate events and keep in control of the process. In short, we will be tough and pro-active when it matters.
Risk and reward analysis
When appropriate, we carry out a risk assessment of your case at the outset and as the matter progresses in order to understand the strengths and weaknesses, the likely outcome and timescale. We will discuss with you your commercial objectives and agree a strategy to achieve the desired outcome.
Flexibility and transparency on costs
In order to assist clients with understanding and budgeting for the costs of resolving disputes, we are able to offer a number of creative funding alternatives which can be discussed with you at the outset of your case. We make every effort to assess the cost and cashflow implications for you and keep you fully informed as to what the legal costs are likely to be, when they are likely to be incurred and why.
