When things don’t go the way we expect in life, we adopt an innovative and strategic approach to the resolution of disputes.
In an increasingly competitive and every changing world, disputes have become a fact of life. Disputes can be significant, high risk and high cost. Legal experts with personal knowledge of your business and individual interests can dramatically ease the litigation process.
Our experienced and versatile dispute resolution team recognise that going to court should be the last option and will explore all available options to avoid costly litigation.
If litigation becomes unavoidable our team is experienced in representing clients at every level of the court system, as well as in arbitrations and mediation. In addition, we maintain strong connections with other independent law firms in the most important jurisdictions that allow us to deal with cross-border disputes.
Hugill & Ip’s reputation is rooted on efficiently handling a wide range of cases: from large scale, complex, multi-jurisdictional litigation to more typical matters, in different areas from general commercial and contractual cases, financial and partnership disputes, to banking, trusts, estate, employment and tax litigation.
