If you have a claim, we want to maximise the realisations from that claim without exposing your company to further risk. If our clients have a claim made against them, we want to reduce the claim and avoid the company being exposed to any further risk. We are passionate that litigation should be a last resort. Achieving a commercial solution and, in particular, mediation, is a big part of our culture.
