Commercial dispute resolution

Corporate risk management and strategy are vital to the success of any business particularly in the current environment of increased litigation and regulation. Thomas Eggar LLP's commercial dispute resolution team recognises the importance of a business being able to deal speedily and effectively with potential disputes or regulatory issues.

Litigation is no longer seen as the only option available to our clients seeking to protect or defend their businesses and commercial position. We offer advice on a wide range of dispute resolution options including arbitration, litigation, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Our aim is to provide solutions which are commercial and within relevant regulatory frameworks.

How can we help?

We have extensive experience in acting for both large and smaller corporates and institutions. Our strategy is first to help clients avoid any potential disputes. We work with our clients to put in place effective risk management and corporate governance strategies which help to ensure that their exposure to potential claims and to regulatory risks and investigations are minimal. If a dispute or regulatory investigation is inevitable, we are experienced in working with our clients to conduct the dispute resolution procedure as effectively and efficiently as possible.

The globalisation of companies means that disputes often have a cross border element. We have a strong network of international legal contacts to guarantee you the best overseas representation. We work with our international contact firms to ensure that the work is well co-ordinated and that our clients have a single point of contact.

We aim to be flexible on our fee arrangements and are willing in certain cases to offer a 'no win, no fee' arrangement. We can also arrange litigation costs insurance, the premium for which can also now be recovered from the other side.
