We provide a wide range of commercial and business advice to clients ranging from start-up businesses to large public companies. We work both as outside ‘preferred counsel’ to companies without in-house legal staff and as partner with in-house general counsel and legal staff. We strive to bring a constructive and imaginative outlook to business transactions believing that clients require solutions, not just legal analyses of their problems. We know how to accommodate simple transactions efficiently as well as those that require a significant degree of substantive degree of talent. Our capacity fits into issues involving insurance , incorporation and formation of business entities, corporate governance, compensation , re-capitalization and the structure and terms of contracts for the sale and distribution of products including distribution agreements, agency requirement agreements , technology licenses , manufacturing agreements and supply contracts.

Our litigation department is a full service department, with significant depth, covering all areas of litigation. We offer a high degree of specialization within the various units that make up our dispute resolution/litigation department, ensuring that clients get the best expertise in managing their specific needs. We are well placed to analyze commercial litigation disputes and identify creative solutions that prevent disputes from escalating to the point where they have to be resolved by a court. If formal litigation is ultimately unavoidable, our approach is to try to resolve any disputes in a cost-effective manner, aimed at generating results that are commercially appropriate to our clients’ needs.

Arbitration has been a popular method of resolving commercial disputes and also in the employment, construction and engineering sectors. The firm is more involved in domestic and international arbitrations on account of the time which it takes to get to trial as well as appeal procedures involved; arbitration is regarded as a speedy and effective means of resolving commercial disputes.We do not experiment with client’s needs. Where we do not have the expertise we outsource and do not pass on the bill to the client.
