Finance and Asset-tracing Litigation

We have extensive experience of complicated High Court litigation and are aware of the sensitivities of such matters. A number of matters have been settled appropriately whilst a number of others have been successfully concluded at trial. Reported cases include Swindle -v- Harrison, one of the leading cases on breach of fiduciary duty, and Bradford & Bingley Building Society -v- Hays & Dunphys.

We have, in effect, managed a list of cases for two high street lenders, outside of a Group Litigation Order (GLO), in the height of the lender litigation which involved analysis of tasks and formulating the strategy for dealing with insurers. We have dealt with many multi-party cases ranging from professional negligence to banking and financial disputes.

Funding

Fixed fee, capped fee and conditional fees are all considered. We will take a pragmatic and creative approach as our aim is to foster long-term business partnerships with our clients.

Due to our extensive experience, from an early stage we will be able to confirm whether we can act on your behalf on a conditional fee basis, more commonly known as “a no win no fee agreement”.  Such an agreement simply means that if we do not succeed with your claim you will not have to pay for our services.  However, if we are successful, you will be responsible for our legal costs in accordance with the conditional fee agreement.  However, your reasonable legal costs are often recovered from the opposing party if you are successful.
