Disputes We Mediate

Third-party liability disputes – claims involving personal injury and rights to light, where the scope of liability and extent of damages are in dispute.

First-party coverage disputes  – including legal indemnity, political risk (CEND), trade credit and excess trade credit, and terrorism. These disputes often require careful consideration of policy wording and the commercial impact of coverage decisions.

Professional indemnity – claims against professionals, often raising issues of duty, scope of service, negligence and reputational risk.

Reinsurance – disputes between insurers and reinsurers, which are frequently high-value and legally complex, often involving multi-jurisdictional elements.

By bringing parties together in a confidential and structured environment, mediation offers the opportunity to resolve these disputes without the expense, distraction and risk of protracted litigation. Our work includes disputes involving:

• Breach of contract and misrepresentation;

• Professional negligence;

• Financial instruments and derivatives

• Corporate governance and shareholder issues;

• Investment management and fiduciary obligations;

• Banking operations and lending.
  

Disputes in the commercial and banking sectors can be complex, resource-intensive and reputationally sensitive.

In trading, disputes can arise quickly and escalate even faster.

Timing, cash flow and reputation are often critical. Litigation can freeze business relationships and delay resolution, sometimes with disproportionate consequences.

We understand the realities of both domestic and international trade. Our mediators provide a neutral forum where parties can:

• Address disputes promptly and confidentially;

• Preserve essential commercial relationships;



• Explore practical solutions that allow trading to continue.
  
  

Mediation in this space is not about legal victory, it is about maintaining the ability to do business.

They often involve issues of succession, governance, investment and family dynamics. The consequences can be financial, reputational and personal.

Our mediators approach these disputes with discretion, empathy and professionalism. We provide:

• A confidential environment where sensitive issues can be discussed openly;
  
  
• Impartial guidance that respects both commercial interests and family relationships;
  
  
• A structured process that seeks outcomes protecting both assets and trust.
  
  

Mediation in the family office context is often less about “winning” and more about finding ways forward that preserve both wealth and relationships for the future.
