De Cruz has extensive experience of both individual and corporate litigation
Civil and Commercial Dispute Resolution Lawyers, London
The firm has extensive experience of both individual and corporate litigation. Our solicitors are able to apply their extensive skills to enable you to identify and manage the risks and costs associated with litigation and dispute resolution.
We are able to advise on dispute avoidance as well as actively representing you or your business in the pursuit or defence of claims by identifying your objectives and in assessing your options.
We advise on merits and risk at an early stage in the proceedings to help you find solutions including funding a claim or for the defence of a claim. We are able to represent you in litigation, arbitration, mediation and in informal negotiations.
The costs of litigating can be prohibitive. If you have a good and arguable claim or defence, on principle alone, many clients would like to engage with the Courts even as a last resort, if a compromise cannot be achieved. Much of the time clients are unable to fund the proceedings in full, especially when against a corporate giant with substantial means. We support clients where possible with a variety of financial proposals which include Conditional Fee Agreements (no win no fee agreements), Damages Based Agreements, payments by instalments and staged payments and other bespoke measures to assist them in achieving their objectives.
