Litigation & Dispute Resolution

We are instructed frequently to act in the highest-profile disputes in the BVI, Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey and have been at the forefront of litigation for many years.

We are leaders in law making and have a long history of creating legal precedents in groundbreaking cases. Similarly, we are involved actively in drafting and professional advisory committees to help to develop and shape legislation across our jurisdictions.

Many of our litigation experts have previously worked with City of London law firms, at the English Bar or gained experience in the leading offshore jurisdictions. We work regularly alongside highly respected international lawyers in cross-border matters in addition to providing support to our colleagues in other teams across Bedell Cristin where required.

Instructed by a wide range of financial institutions, fiduciary service providers, commercial entities and private individuals based worldwide our expert teams are involved in a broad spectrum of litigation work. This includes trust disputes, insolvencies, boardroom battles, fraud and asset recovery, regulatory enforcement and arbitration.

We believe in a ‘hands-on’ approach and our clients have access to our experienced litigation partners for the duration of any case. We take on our clients' issues and guide them towards the best solution, communicating regularly and providing reassurance at every stage.

Our practice is focussed on the following areas:

• Contentious trusts and probate
• Commercial disputes (including banking and finance)
• Fraud and asset tracing
• Regulation and enforcement
