Disputes & Claims

No-one - well, hardly anyone - goes out looking to be involved in litigation. It is however one of the facts of life, and particularly of business, that from time to time disagreements do occur. When they do, you need to be properly advised and equipped to deal with them. You need to know what the strength of your legal position is, how you can build on the strengths you have, what strategies are available, and what the likely cost of alternative strategies will be.

 

We as a firm also recognise that the pursuit of litigation can be costly not only in terms of money, but also in time and emotional energy. The decision to follow the route of litigation is one to be taken with care and with sound advice; and we have the experience and resources to assist you in those preliminary considerations.

 

We have assembled a litigation team at Berwins to meet the specific needs of commercial clients, and to help clients evaluate at an early stage the appropriate courses of action. When a course has been determined, our goal is to be positive, proactive and effective, and just as we seek to be part of your team in the development of your business, so we will seek to work with you in dealing with disputes.

 

You have a right to expect technical expertise from us, and by our continuing internal training programme we ensure that changes in the law are studied and swiftly absorbed. Because of the firm's other strengths, including those in commercial law, property, intellectual property and IT law, the litigation department are able to call on a breadth of internal resources as well as its own quality-approved panel of barristers and other experts.
