Dispute resolution is the solving of claims and disputes between two or more parties, whether by negotiated settlement, litigation, or one of the many methods of alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation or arbitration. International dispute resolution refers to matters where the parties and/or the subject matter of the dispute are in more than one country.

We have extensive experience and expertise in international dispute resolution, including acting for foreign clients in respect of dispute within the UK, and for UK clients in disputes abroad (where appropriate, using an appropriate foreign agent). We work closely with foreign lawyers and can introduce our clients to such advisers when necessary.

It is not possible to provide a general estimate of costs for these types of applications, because of the extent to which they will vary, according to the nature and size of the claim involved.

We offer the full range of funding options (other than government funding) to include fixed fees, conditional fee arrangements, after the event insurance and third party funding. We also always provide cost estimates as soon as reasonably practicable and remain within those estimates or, where (for good reason) not possible, agree a revised estimate before the previous one is exceeded. This, together with our regular billing policy and transparency on costs, means you retain a degree of control and certainly over your legal spend.
