Case assessment
Assess the claims, defenses, evidence and the realistic outcomes.
Disputes & litigation
Handle a dispute from the first letter to the judgment. We assess the case, organize the evidence, negotiate a settlement where it makes sense, and represent you in court when it does not.
Scope & feesMost of a dispute is decided before the hearing.
Facts, documents and deadlines decide most disputes, and they are cheapest to sort out early. We do the assessment, the chronology and the correspondence, and the same team that prepared the case argues it in court.
What we work on.
Evidence & chronology
Preserve and organize the documents, build the chronology and prepare for discovery where it applies.
Correspondence
Prepare demand letters, responses and settlement proposals.
Mediation & conciliation
Prepare for mediation, conciliation proceedings and settlement talks.
Submissions
Draft and file pleadings, statements of claim, responses and appeals.
Court representation
Represent you at hearings and see the case through to judgment or settlement.
How the work unfolds.
Assess
Review the facts, documents and deadlines.
Decide the strategy
Agree whether to settle, defend or pursue the claim.
Prepare
Draft the correspondence and submissions.
Resolve
Close the matter by settlement or see it through to judgment.
We identify the deadlines at the start. Procedural deadlines decide the schedule, so send the matter as soon as a dispute becomes likely.
Scope agreed.
Fees made clear.
A fixed fee for the assessment, then a fixed quote for each stage, including the hearing. We never bill by the hour.
What shapes the fee
- Amount in dispute and complexity
- Volume of documents
- Number of stages required
Budgeted separately
Court fees, cost securities, expert fees and e-discovery vendors are budgeted separately.
