Our Banking & Investment Disputes Expertise

Our Alternative Dispute Resolution Expertise

We have a range of resolution mechanisms available depending on the precise nature of the dispute, including the timing, risks, financial exposure and importance of preserving business relationships. Where feasible, alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") methods, such as mediation, can bring a rapid and equitable conclusion to disputes without the involvement of the Courts – the outcome of which can then be made legally binding.  While ADR will not always be appropriate, it holds considerable advantages in terms of time, cost and the preservation of business relationships.

Our Recent Experience

Our Litigation & Dispute Resolution Team advise and represent individuals, companies and syndicates, and have recently handled cases whereby financial product misrepresentation, misselling, professional negligence and mismanagement has occurred. 

We have recently advised clients who were investors in Dolphin Trust, Solar 21 and Tower Trade.
