Long established as Ireland’s leading dispute resolution & litigation practice, McCann FitzGerald specialises in resolving large, complex and high-value disputes
Overview
Our Dispute Resolution & Litigation Group acts for a broad spectrum of clients, particularly those in the corporate and financial sectors. We are often the first port of call for major corporates who find themselves in a dispute or who want advice on a matter that might become contentious. Understanding legal, commercial and reputational risk we devise optimum strategies that focus on the commercial objectives of clients. With significant large-scale legal and technological resources, McCann FitzGerald is a leader in enabling the fast-tracking of complex commercial disputes through Ireland’s Commercial Court, the dominant force in Irish business litigation.
Expertise
Our approach focuses on delivering our clients' commercial objectives efficiently and cost effectively, using leading case management technology and techniques. We recognise that litigation and arbitration are no longer the only processes for clients seeking legal remedies to enforce or defend their commercial positions increasingly, we are providing advice on pre-litigation matters and working alongside our non-contentious teams as risk managers.
Alternative dispute resolution is an integral part of our practice and an area where we have great expertise. We represent clients in mediations, expert determinations, adjudications and bespoke processes to resolve disputes. A number of our lawyers are accredited mediators with experience in mediating a broad range of commercial disputes.
