Our Knowledge, Your Business

When you appoint Irwin Mitchell to represent you in disputes and litigation matters, you’ll find that our litigation team can respond, at short notice, to your demands across a range of matters. We have specific expertise in disputes emanating out of the current financial crisis, putting us in an excellent position to advise in relation to rights and remedies of all those affected by the Credit Crunch.

Experts In Disputes And Litigation

We represent shareholders, companies, directors and suppliers – and, exercising a wide range of skills, we act for companies in relation to breach of fiduciary duty claims. We also deal with hedge fund litigation and claims in professional negligence against intermediaries and service providers.

We have a national insolvency team and, in conjunction with them, secure assets and protect creditors. Some of our partners have worked within the fund industry and so we have specific and detailed sector experience.

We understand the implications of the financial crisis, which is creating great uncertainty in the market, causing ever more contractual disagreements and insolvency situations. Clients are vulnerable to third party default and the possibility of fraud within the business – and we have broad experience of dealing with all these matters in a sensitive, yet commercially pragmatic manner.
