Dispute resolution

Fladgate’s substantial dispute resolution team advises institutional, corporate and individual clients from the UK and abroad, across a wide range of business sectors. We have in-depth experience of all forms of commercial dispute resolution, including High Court litigation, international and domestic arbitrations and mediation.

The team is experienced in handling cases of considerable size and complexity and is flexible in its approach, focusing on resolving disputes quickly and cost effectively. In addition to general commercial litigation, which covers international work, our work splits into the following principal areas:

  • Commercial and trading disputes
  • Banking litigation
  • Construction disputes
  • Professional indemnity/negligence
  • Contentious trust matters
  • Real estate litigation
  • Intellectual property
  • Publishing, defamation and advertising

For our size, we handle substantial matters for sophisticated clients who demand high standards of work in terms of quality and speed of response. We have the capability and experience to handle extremely large and complex disputes, and are still able to provide a partner led, practical service. We take a commercial approach to disputes, providing cost-effective support that is designed to manage and resolve disputes. Our philosophy is to settle cases and wherever possible we look for ways around the litigation process if it is in our clients’ interests to do so, otherwise we can be vigorous litigators.
