Article 01

The problem you face

Litigation is one route, not the default. Before recommending it, the evidence, jurisdiction, deadlines, cost, prospects of settlement and — above all — enforceability and collection must be weighed as a commercial decision.

  • Claims started without a view on enforcement
  • Limitation and contractual deadlines at risk
  • Evidence spread across people and systems
  • Settlement windows missed

Who it is for: Companies and government entities facing a commercial, project, partnership or contractual dispute.

Frequently asked questions

Can you guarantee an outcome?

No. No lawyer can guarantee a result. We set out the options and the risks clearly so that you can decide.

Can you take over a case already under way?

Yes, subject to a conflict check and a review of the file.

Do you draft arbitration clauses?

Yes — and we review existing clauses before a dispute arises, when they can still be improved.
