Corporate and projects-related disputes require expert management to mitigate financial and reputational risk and minimise business disruption and value dilution.

Our transactions and dispute resolution teams have longstanding experience helping clients to successfully handle the issues. Many of our cases are high-profile cross-border matters, involving technical industry knowledge and complex aspects of law.

We provide on-point strategic advice, combining expertise in transactional law and practice and understanding of wider commercial implications with mastery of dispute resolution mechanisms and tactics.

Our expertise spans pre- and post-closing issues, joint venture and shareholder/investor disputes, directors’ liability issues, disputes in the context of distressed assets, restructuring and insolvency, and public-private partnerships and public procurement.

We also often attend clients’ shareholder and board meetings to resolve concerns on the spot.

We advocate having a robust preventative risk mitigation strategy in place and tackling concerns at an early stage to avoid escalation.

Litigation is not always the best strategic option. Our point of departure is to develop an understanding of your objectives so that we can craft an appropriate strategy.

Sometimes an out-of-court settlement may meet your needs better. In some cases, an alternative resolution mechanism, such as arbitration, may provide a swifter, more cost-effective solution.

However you decide to proceed, we will vigorously advocate your position and protect your interests.

What I appreciated most about the VBB team was their active guidance throughout this complicated process. They effectively took the lead in coordinating the entire team, ensuring smooth and efficient cooperation across all parties involved.
