Robert brings almost 30 years’ experience to commercial litigation cases, acting for a wide range of clients across most industries. Robert’s specialist areas include contractual, partnerships and shareholder disputes and claimant professional negligence work. With a wisdom, confidence and understanding that each case is different, Robert develops important and lasting relationships based on trust and transparency. Robert has developed a fantastic reputation for his clear, efficient and friendly approach.

Robert often shares the risks of litigation with his client by acting on various forms of conditional fee agreements. By way of example:

I had to seek the advice of Robert Johnson in the commercial litigation department. I am extremely glad that I did – in January I was awarded substantial damages for a wrong that I had suffered. Although the whole process is obviously a fraught one which is not to be undertaken lightly, Robert has helped me through with confidence, calmness and assuredness. His knowledge of both the law and the due process were excellent whilst maintaining an awareness of my commercial needs. It is undoubtedly true to say that during the time that the litigation lasted, I viewed Robert as a partner as well as an advisor, in no small part because he and Healys shared the commercial risk by undertaking the matter on a “no win, no fee” basis. Without his marvellous support I would not have had the courage to take action and would not be in the happy state that I find myself in today.
