Your Business, Our Solutions.
Overview
Disputes are a reality of commercial and personal life. When they arise, the quality of legal representation determines whether rights are protected, losses are recovered, and reputations are preserved.
Our litigation practice is built on thorough preparation, honest assessment, and determined advocacy. We do not overstate the strength of a case to win an instruction, and we do not pursue strategies that serve the advocate's interests more than the client's. When a matter should be settled, we say so. When it should be fought, we fight it with everything we have.
We appear regularly before the High Court, the Court of Appeal, magistrates' courts, the Anti-Corruption Court, the Employment and Labour Relations Court, the Sports Disputes Tribunal, and arbitral tribunals.

Describe the situation in your own words. We will tell you what it actually involves, which services it touches, and what it will cost, before you commit to anything.
Why clients instruct us for litigation & dispute resolution
Four commitments specific to this practice.
We appear wherever your dispute is heard
Superior and subordinate courts, the Kadhis’ courts, specialist and quasi-judicial tribunals, registrars such as KIPI, and arbitration, mediation and other alternative forums.
Forum strategy before filing
The first decision in most disputes is where to bring it. We advise on that before drafting, not after.
Success-linked options within the rules
Where a matter has a measurable outcome we can agree a base fee plus a defined success element under paragraph 41 of the ARO. We never act on outcome alone.
Litigation informed by the commercial file
Our disputes team works alongside the corporate practice, so the contract that created the dispute is read by people who draft them.
