Dispute Resolution
When disputes arise, our clients rely on us to resolve them efficiently and effectively, with the minimum of disruption to their business.
Litigation is one way we achieve this, but it is not the only way. We always aim to put our clients’ wider commercial interests first and so we use the tools best suited to the job in each case, including alternative dispute resolution techniques where appropriate.
Our dispute resolution team comprises skilled advocates, effective negotiators and qualified mediators, as well as assertive and pragmatic litigators who are well versed in Court procedures and how best to put them into effect.
We handle all kinds of media and entertainment related disputes, across all of our clients’ business sectors, including all types of music and film litigation. The respected Chambers Guide to the UK Legal Profession has specifically recognised the “significant contentious expertise” that we offer.
Our specialist areas include:
- Copyright infringement claims
- Breach of contract claims
- Management disputes
- Music disputes
- Film and television disputes
- Royalty audit claims
- Breach of confidence claims
- Passing off claims
- Employment disputes
- Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and Mediation
Dealing with disputes can be stressful and time-consuming for clients if not handled properly. We put together a particular team for each job from within the group, choosing individuals for their expert industry knowledge of the subject matter, as well as their practical skills in dealing with the issues at hand. Clients can then take comfort from the knowledge that they are a step nearer to achieving the resolution they want.
