“This “substantial and professional” outfit possesses a... ...strong dispute resolution team operating out of offices along the South Coast as well as in Oxford and London. As such, it has national as well as regional presence, and attracts accolades for maintaining a “consistently high standard” that is never less than “cost-effective.” The team’s size also enables it to diversify into a raft of sub-specialisms, including IP, IT, pensions, defamation, property, insolvency, debt recovery and asset finance. Its members are also experienced in all forms of ADR."

“The head of the commercial dispute resolution department, Stephen Murfitt, is the firm’s star, impressing commentators with his “measured approach” and “clever way of clearing potential obstacles.” In a broad practice, he has a particular focus on construction and engineering matters as well as professional disciplinary disputes. Also recommended is accredited mediator Susan Dryden, who acts in a variety of commercial disputes on behalf of a range of major business clients.”
