Contract & Commercial Disputes
We resolve high-value contract disputes with the same technical care we bring to drafting — because the two are the same craft under different pressure.
Amara Okonkwo leads the firm’s disputes practice. We act on breach of contract, warranty and indemnity claims under sale and purchase agreements, supply-chain failures, franchise terminations, joint-venture deadlocks, and the interim injunction applications that decide whether a position survives long enough to be tried.
The practice is deliberately integrated with the transactional desks. When we litigate a warranty claim, we have already drafted dozens of similar schedules. When we defend an exclusion clause, we know how the Court of Appeal currently reads commercial limitation language. That feedback loop improves both the litigation and the next set of documents we issue.
We conduct High Court and specialist commercial litigation, domestic and international arbitration under LCIA and ICC rules, and structured settlement negotiation — including Tomlin orders and escrow arrangements that make a settlement actually stick.
