Civil Fraud
6 min
What a freezing order actually costs
The application is the cheap part. The cross-undertaking in damages is what should decide whether you bring it.
Read the note

Arbitration
7 min
An award you cannot enforce
Enforcement is not the last stage of an arbitration. It is the first question, and it should be answered before the notice is served.

Practice
4 min
What we do in the first meeting
Thirty minutes, no charge, and a partner. What we are actually listening for, and why we sometimes say don’t.
Read the note

Commercial Litigation
8 min
Disclosure decides it more often than argument
The case you can run is rarely the case described in the first meeting. It is the one the documents will support.
Read the note

Costs
5 min
Fixed fees, and where they break
We price bounded work and hold to it. Here is precisely which stages can be bounded and which cannot.
Read the note

Insolvency
6 min
When the company crossed the line
Wrongful trading turns on a date nobody wrote down. The board papers usually help the office-holder more than the directors.
Read the note
Not sure where your matter fits?
Fifteen minutes on the phone with the partner who would run it. We will tell you plainly whether it is worth fighting, and what it will cost to find out.
