Disputes cost time, money and focus. Our litigation team works to resolve them quickly where that serves you, and to fight them thoroughly where it does not.

We have acted for leading banks in recovery proceedings and for insurers in a wide range of claims, and we bring the same preparation to individuals and growing businesses.

  • Debt recovery and enforcement of judgments
  • Banking disputes, securities and charges

  • Breach of contract and commercial claims

  • Judicial review and constitutional petitions
  • Appeals before the High Court and Court of Appeal
