Recent Case Studies

The majority of business disputes that our firm handles are handled successfully before they get to the point of litigation. We believe that proactive skilled negotiation and tactics can often prevent the publicity and risk of trial.  However, some cases do need to see the inside of a Court room, here are some of the most recent:
