We offer attention to detail as well as knowledge of all the relevant rules and practices associated with litigation in all jurisdictions.
We keep our clients informed with estimates of costs during the various stages of litigation and of any significant developments likely to make a considerable difference to the costs.
Our practice is to use counsel only where to do so is thought necessary. This is usually confined to appearances at contested court hearings and complex mediations.
When a party obtains a judgment, but has difficulty enforcing it, we have the experience to take the appropriate action. This may be through garnishee orders, oral examination, bankruptcy or liquidation.
Where we can recover costs we will do so vigorously so as to protect the client's position in the litigation. In our experience, obtaining costs orders during the litigation can often assist our clients to obtain a good result in settlement discussions.
All courts now regard mediation as a compulsory procedure before a case is able to proceed to trial. We have the necessary experience to conduct mediations in many types of disputes:
- commercial litigation
- contractual
- debt recovery
- employment
- insurance
- intellectual property
- probate (testators family maintenance)
