Dispute resolution

Disputes are an unfortunate part of commercial life. Penningtons has substantial experience in both devising strategies to avoid disputes developing and to resolve those that do occur as effectively as possible.

When the interests of a client are best served by pursuing litigation vigorously, we have the skills to achieve results. However, we also recognise that major disputes absorb significant resources in terms of both management time and costs. Where more appropriate to the business needs of clients, we use a variety of alternative dispute resolution techniques, such as mediation, which have proved to be highly successful.

Penningtons deals with a broad cross-section of cases, from straightforward debt collection through to major disputes that threaten the existence of a company.

Our clients range from owner-managed businesses to multi-national corporations and from professional partnerships to banks and other financial institutions. We are regularly involved in international issues, liaising with lawyers in our associated firms worldwide.
