Transparent and practical approach to commercial litigation

We provide practical, clear advice and are not afraid to tell you when a case is simply uneconomical or impractical to pursue.

We are honest about your prospects of success, and often have open and frank discussions about likely outcomes. We are transparent when it comes to costs, and will be open and up-front with you throughout. We offer traditional hourly rates and fixed fees, depending on the type of dispute we are dealing with.

Don't take our word for it

Neil O’Callaghan is an excellent lawyer and negotiator. A very good strategist and able to get great deals for his clients. On top of the detail, always well prepared, easy to work with and clients seem to love him. Also good at working with opponents despite getting the best deal possible for his own client.
I worked with Janice Young and Holly Baker on a property damage dispute, in which we were successful at trial. Janice is always on top of every detail of a case; it's almost intimidating. She exudes cleverness.
A strong team with an excellent track record of commercial real estate litigation.
