Tensions often arise in even the best managed commercial relationships. If not tackled promptly and effectively, those tensions can lead to disagreement and even become disputes. This can cause major disruption to your business, wasting management time and, in severe cases, possibly threatening the future of your business.

Gorvins dispute resolution team recognise that early and effective action, coupled with a sensible and commercial approach, can generally resolve tensions and disagreements at an early stage, before relationships begin to break down and battle lines become drawn.

We understand our clients and their businesses. We help them take control of the situation quickly and prevent escalation. We give them up front advice on the strengths and weaknesses of their position, and devise a strategy to achieve the best possible outcome.

We recognise that clients do not want to become immersed in a long and costly legal process with no guaranteed outcome. Our commercial and pragmatic approach involves exploring all the options to resolve your case and we will give you clear information about costs, timing and likely results, reviewing your position with you as the situation develops.

In order to achieve the right result for you, we can draw on a variety of tools and approaches including:

• Managed negotiations between the parties
• Mediation
• Expert determination
• Early neutral evaluation and
• Arbitration.

Where it is necessary to achieve the right result, our skilled and experienced lawyers will work with you to achieve the right outcome for your case through the High or County Court, the Court of Appeal or the House of Lords.

There are times when you may need to take quick and incisive action to protect your business or trade secrets. Gorvins large team of litigators have many years’ experience of dealing with all manner of injunctions, including restraining unlawful and unfair trading, freezing other parties’ assets and searching and seizing confidential information stolen from our clients.
