Blake Lapthorn's Commercial Litigation team has a strong track record of handling disputes for international and national corporations, owner-managed businesses, partnerships, financial institutions and government departments.

The team is known for its sector knowledge and experience in aviation, construction, defence, franchising, publishing, intellectual property (IP) disputes, pensions, recruitment and IT, communications and media sectors as well as for its handling of professional negligence and fraud cases. Expertise in litigation and arbitration is matched by the team's experience in mediation and all other forms of dispute resolution.

We recognise that clients need to be in control of the litigation process and have developed Focus, a dispute management system that allows you to plan your strategy and keep control of the dispute and costs.

We also recognise that funding litigation can be expensive. Our IN-Focus service is a way of funding litigation and reducing the risk to your business.  It can help your business with commercial claims within a certain criteria and with a value of at least £25,000.
