Commercial litigation
A supply contract that was never going to be honoured.
A regional manufacturer was three quarters into a five-year supply agreement when its counterparty stopped paying and started arguing about specification.
We took the position to the courtroom door and settled on the steps at full contract value plus interest, with the manufacturer's customer relationships intact.

Corporate
A founder who nearly signed away the company.
A software founder came to us four days before closing a growth round on terms that gave the incoming investor a veto over the product roadmap.
We renegotiated the governance package and closed on time. Three years on she still controls the board, and the round closed at the same valuation.

Personal injury
A fall the building said never happened.
A tenant was seriously injured on a stairwell the managing agent had known about for eleven months, and whose maintenance log had gone conveniently missing.
We reconstructed the record from contractor invoices and won a settlement that covered the surgery, the lost earnings and the rehabilitation in full.
