The high quality and varied nature of our commercial Litigation Practice reflects not only the experience of the team but also the growing demand for advice in this specialised area of law. Our in-depth knowledge in our core practice areas of media and entertainment enables us to give realistic and practical advice to our clients in these industries.

We are consistently ranked in legal directories amongst firms of a much larger size, whom we frequently come up against. But although we handle large and complicated disputes, usually in the High Court, we are small enough to be fast, flexible, and to offer personal service and attention.

If an urgent injunction is required, or if a case proceeds to trial, we are able to use our connections to call upon barristers of the highest calibre to present the case at short notice. However, it is usually our aim to offer strategic advice which puts our client in a strong position to negotiate a settlement. We always encourage our clients to seek advice from a specialist litigator at an early stage if they feel there is a potential dispute.

We are particularly well known and experienced in dealing with sensitive high profile litigation and we are also recognised for our expertise in handling press management and media crises.

"The firm continues to grow in standing thanks to an 'impressive array of coverage within the media' both in the UK and abroad. Interviewees praise the firm's 'outstanding libel practice' and its 'superb links in the industry.'" Chambers & Partners, 2008.
