Melissa Munday is able to do difficult work under considerable pressure. Nichola Evans can marshal a lot of material and gives good advice.
Such situations call for strong strategic and commercial thinking from professionals who have experience of handling high stakes company and partnership disputes.
Our disputes and commercial team has a wealth of this expertise. Resolution outside a court is always the preferred strategy and we’ll help assess and find a potential solution to the issues arising. This includes, given these disputes are often bitterly contested, devising innovative strategies utilising expert determination, mediation and other alternatives, designed to achieve a favourable result where possible.
Should litigation be required, our experienced team can take the strain, offering straightforward, expert advice, fighting you corner at every step.
