Civil, Commercial & Corporate.
We advise and represent businesses and individuals in contract and commercial disputes, acting for both claimants and defendants. The work spans contractual claims and defences, commercial and contractual arbitration, company-law and shareholder matters, recovery actions, and the drafting and vetting of commercial agreements.
Engagements are run with the same discipline as the firm's maritime work — close attention to the documents, a realistic early view of merits and exposure, and clear communication at each stage. We take a considered view of whether a matter is better resolved by negotiation, arbitration, or litigation before costs are committed.
