Dispute avoidance

We believe clients should be getting on with running their business not looking over their shoulders for potential contractual issues. Problems almost inevitably cost money and time to rectify.

Project advice

Our reputation stems from our innovative approach to avoiding and resolving disputes satisfactorily without the need to begin formal proceedings. By continually reviewing our recommendations throughout a project, we can help our clients check that they are doing the right thing before moving on to the next stage.

We help clients understand the commercial risks of what they want to achieve with a document, an appointment or a financial package – and then minimise those risks.

Our strategic advice throughout a project helps them:

• anticipate issues
• position themselves positively within a contract
• protect themselves financially.

We are also experienced in devising collaborative contractual structures which increase efficiency and reduce the prospect of disputes.

We take an innovative approach to the novel legal and commercial issues which can arise given the complexity of contractual arrangements and risk allocation, for example, under Public/Private Finance Initiative contracts.
