We will always be upfront about the anticipated costs and how likely you are to succeed.

Our areas of Dispute Management include:

  • Actions against Directors: If you are facing a dispute with your shareholders or you are a shareholder looking to exclude a Director from the management of a company, we can help, including negotiating specific terms of you/the Director’s exit. Our extensive knowledge of insolvency law can also help guide you through potential insolvency situations and we can help defend actions brought by any Liquidator, Administrator or Official Receiver if a disqualification order is applied for following a company being placed into liquidation or administration.
  • Commerical Contracts: Disputes are almost inevitably going to arise in any business. We will work with you closely to understand how the dispute has come about and how you hope it will be resolved. Our approach of taking the issues in dispute, assessing the likelihood of you being successful and taking into account how the outcome you want to achieve, allows us to offer you a bespoke, practical solution to resolve any dispute your business may face.
  • Insolvency: We have extensive experience in insolvency matters, including issuing and opposing winding up petitions, applications to refrain advertisement and in particular, disputes with HMRC where insolvency proceedings are threatened or instigated.
