The work, in plain terms.
Civil and commercial litigation
Contractual disputes, debt claims, negligence, and shareholder and partnership disputes. From the letter of demand through to trial and, where necessary, appeal.
Arbitration
Domestic and international arbitration, including matters under institutional rules. Arbitration is private and the award is binding, but it is not automatically cheaper than court, and we will be straight with you about that.
Mediation
A mediator helps the parties reach their own agreement and cannot impose one. It is usually faster and less expensive than a contested hearing, and in many disputes it is worth attempting before anything else.
Debt recovery
Letters of demand, statutory demands, judgment and enforcement. The first question we will ask is whether the debtor can actually pay, because a judgment against someone with no assets is an expensive piece of paper.
Bankruptcy and insolvency
Bankruptcy applications for individuals and winding up for companies, including defending them. We also advise on judicial management and schemes of arrangement, and on the position of directors as a company approaches insolvency.
Enforcement of judgments
Getting paid after you have won, which is a separate exercise from winning.
Three steps, no mystery.
