Civil and Commercial Litigation
Reputation in this field is earned through successful activity in the major, complex cases. There are a number of
leading legal firms with a strong presence in this field. We seek to win business, in this as in other areas of
litigation practice, by offering a more commercial approach to each matter and by providing a more senior level
service at the right price.
Business people need to know that if they are entering into a process of litigation, they have done so for the right
reasons. Long term commercial implications need to be fully evaluated and every potential avenue must be
explored. Frequently, matters must be handled with very great speed.
Our lawyers seek to play an integral role in your management team, supporting decisions with clear,
unambiguous advice. Our breadth of experience allows us to be unequivocal – rather than simply presenting a
range of possibilities and leaving the clients without a clear route forward.
Acting in major issues around the world, frequently managing strategy in an overseas jurisdiction, AVIF IP Office
seeks to provide one of the world’s most effective commercial litigation practices.
