We handle a range of corporate and commercial disputes, including contract and shareholder conflicts, as well as post-merger and governance-related litigation. Our work often involves cross-border coordination and interim relief.

How we typically support

We translate business objectives into dispute positions that are evidence-led, time-sensitive, and enforceable.

Scope of services

• Handling contract disputes (performance, termination, damages, warranties, indemnities)

• Managing shareholder and joint venture disputes (governance, deadlock, information rights)

• Pursuing and defending directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary duty claims

• Managing post-M&A conflicts (earn-outs, misstatements, covenant breaches)

• Supporting injunction and urgent relief strategy where required

• Planning interim measures and evidence-preservation steps

• Coordinating cross-border proceedings and counsel teams

• Supporting settlement strategy and negotiation execution

Approach

We build cases with a clear line from facts to legal qualification to remedy. Early on, we identify the decisive documents and witnesses, pressure-test the theory of damages, and map procedural steps against business and enforcement constraints. We assess costs and timelines early, select a forum and procedural path that fits the objective, and litigate efficiently where settlement is not appropriate.

Deliverables

• A case roadmap (claims/defences/remedies, milestones, cost drivers)

• An evidence plan (what matters, what is missing, how to obtain it)

• A decision memo for management and boards

Interim relief & settlement architecture

In time-sensitive disputes, sequencing is often decisive. We structure interim relief and evidence-preservation steps to protect the core claim while keeping settlement options workable through clear remedies, milestones, and implementation mechanics.

Selected experience (anonymised)

• Managing shareholder and board-level conflicts involving angles relating to damages, governance and information-rights

• Representing an insurance company in a dispute with a customer regarding the performance of an underlying asset from a private pension insurance policy

• Representing employers and employees in disputes arising from employment relationships, such as those concerning termination, damages, reimbursement of expenses and employment references

• Supporting interim relief strategy in time-sensitive commercial disputes

• Coordinating cross-border litigation steps with counsel in other jurisdictions

If you are facing a time-sensitive commercial dispute or require a second opinion on forum and strategy, we can typically accommodate short timelines.
