Litigation Capabilities

Commercial, Corporate and Civil Disputes and Arbitration

Where disputes cannot be avoided, we have the experience and expertise to take advantage of the range of resolution methods available and to chart a strategy for resolution, focused on meeting our clients’ commercial interests, aims and expectations.

Our team has extensive experience in complex corporate and commercial disputes spanning the full spectrum of work from breaches of directors’ duties and corporate governance requirements to conspiracy, asset-tracing, and fraud. When our team undertakes any sort of work, we appreciate and analyse the legal, commercial and reputational aspects.

Some recent notable matters include representing a well-known company in the health and lifestyle sector in multiple claims like breaches of duties and defamation, representing a high net-worth individual for the recovery of an asset worth more than US$30 million as part of a worldwide asset recovery effort and representing the shareholders and directors of a well-known travel company.

Our team is also proficient in both local and international arbitrations.
