Businesses will want to avoid disputes wherever possible. When disputes occur we work with our clients to provide solutions, using case analysis tools to allow management decisions to be made in conditions of uncertainty. We will then work to manage the litigation process to a mutually chosen result.

Our Dispute Resolution team has an impressive array of experience acting for businesses in the climate change sector in relation to disputes. Their knowledge of the sector in general enables them to provide a user-friendly service with a good understanding of technology and environmental issues when they arise.

“Clients heap praise on the “well-trained and well-managed team” for its “accurate, expert advice...””

Examples of our recent work include:

  • acting for a renewable energy start-up technology company in relation to a directors duties claim and shareholder dispute. Understanding the background to the dispute and the aims of the business going forward enabled us to give pro-active commercial as well as legal advice to enable the parties to seek to reach a pragmatic resolution to the dispute
  • acting for an energy management company in a substantial multi-million pound claim from an acquisition involving in particular questions relating to the nature of the business, including the adequacy of energy management services share provided and accuracy of monitoring and measurement equipment
  • acting for Cleantech, a company that organises conferences in the US and Europe for clean tech companies in relation to trademark registrations, passing off claims and unfair competition issues in the UK and Europe.
