What’s the cost?

We’ll quote options in your free call. For litigation, we offer fixed-fee stages and clear scopes. For advisory work, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for – fixed fee.

How we can help you.

Breach of contract

When a supplier, customer, or partner fails to honour their obligations we’ll help you enforce your rights and recover losses, fast. We’ll also help you vigorously defend any claims being brought against you or your business.

Shareholder and Director Disputes

Battles over control and business decisions, boardroom power struggles, dividend disagreements, or exits gone sour – we help resolve shareholder deadlocks and enforce shareholder agreements.

Partnership Disputes

Breakdowns between business partners can destroy momentum. We act quickly to untangle the business and protect your financial interests.

Breach of Director Duties

Where a director has misused funds, acted in bad faith, traded the company while insolvent or failed to act in the company’s best interests – we take swift action to stop the damage and recover losses. Alternatively, we also defend directors who are facing these claims, especially from liquidators.
