Commercial Dispute Resolution

Our team of specialist commercial dispute resolution lawyers provides advice and representation on a wide range of business disputes.

We give clear, practical advice, combining expert technical analysis with a sound understanding of our clients’ business problems and commercial objectives.

We seek to resolve disputes quickly and efficiently and to minimise the impact of a dispute on clients’ day-to-day operations.

Where possible we try to settle disputes without recourse to legal proceedings. However, when this is unavoidable, we have a very experienced and committed team to pursue our clients’ interests.

We have been referred to as efficient and high quality and always looking at the bigger picture and doing their best to keep costs low by Chambers & Partners, and as truly excellent always lays out the costs first, and very pragmatic in its advice on a case in terms of costs versus benefit by the Legal 500.

Where urgent action is required, we have extensive experience of dealing with injunction applications, including acting as Supervising Solicitors in simultaneous multi-site search and seize orders.

The breadth of our practice can be seen from the subject areas in which we practice set out in detail below.

Recommendation body:

Having paid a tradesman to renovate my property, Tom Plow took on my case and helped me secure an offer of £10,000 to repay much of the money I lost when the work needed to be done again. It was a long road, as the tradesman did not accept fault. But Tom's clear sightedness and logical approach got the result I wanted. I thoroughly recommend.
