PosturePre-action
  1. Letter of Demand, Demand served, Day 1. The client is engaged and a formal letter of demand is issued to the counterparty, setting out the debt, the contractual basis and a firm deadline to pay or respond.
  2. Pre-action Mediation, Negotiating, Day 21. Without-prejudice talks open. We test settlement, narrow the issues and protect the client's costs position before a single document is filed.
  3. Filing & Summary Judgment, Claim filed, Day 64. Negotiations stall. We file the claim and apply for summary judgment on a debt that admits no genuine defence, keeping the timeline tight.
  4. Enforcement, Judgment enforced, Day 132. Judgment is obtained. We move straight to enforcement — charging orders and third-party debt orders applied against the counterparty's assets.
  5. Recovery & Closure, Funds recovered, Day 173. The debt is recovered in full with interest and costs. The matter is closed and the complete chain of correspondence is sealed and archived.
01

Commercial Litigation

High-value contract and shareholder disputes run with a clear strategy, disciplined cost control and an eye on the commercial outcome.

02

Debt Recovery & Enforcement

From first demand to charging orders, we turn unpaid judgments into recovered funds across borders and asset classes.

03

Mediation & Settlement

Most matters are won before trial. We negotiate from a position of evidenced strength to settle on the client's terms.

Counsel / Evidence first

Strength before the first filing.

Before we write a line of pleading, we build the record: the contract, the breach, the loss and the route to recovery. That preparation is why most of our matters settle on our client's terms — and why the rest hold up under judgment.
