Litigation &
Dispute Resolution
Disputes are an unavoidable but challenging part of business. You need an experienced legal team who will be by your side in meeting those challenges head-on.
Clients benefit from our ability to efficiently identify the issues, understand the implications, and design strategies to minimise disruption to their business. Our litigation lawyers hold decades of experience representing clients in resolving complex, high-value disputes. We know when to negotiate and what tactics to use to best protect clients’ interests, maximise outcomes and outmanoeuvre the opposition.
We are proud to be recognised as one of Ireland’s leading litigation and dispute resolution teams - regularly representing our clients in cases in the Commercial List of the High Court. We regularly act in opposition to international firms and the largest law firms in Ireland with ease having all previously worked in such firms. We have the scale and resources, including state of the art technology and access to the best experts, to handle high stakes litigation, arbitration, mediation, negotiation and expert determination.
Whether you are a corporate, an investor, an office holder, or a high net worth individual, we will work with you to defend your interests and achieve an efficient, commercial resolution – allowing you to get back to focussing on your core business. From experience, we know that the best outcomes are achieved when we work as part of your team, evaluating your options, dealing with emergency court applications, planning for potential litigation and implementing dispute resolution strategies.
Consistent with the ethos of Power Law we take the time to get to know our clients to better understand their business. We find this helps us develop an appropriate and aligned approach with our clients to achieve better outcomes in the resolution of disputes. We have many long-standing client relationships of trust which reflect the success of our client centred approach.
