Our Process

How we
handle a matter.

Four stages, consistently applied across every civil matter — from first call through to enforcement of judgement.

Step 01

Scope & Strategy

A confidential first conversation, a review of documents, and a written assessment of merits, route and likely costs.

Step 02

Pleadings & Evidence

Drafting of the statement of claim, marshalling of evidence, and engagement of experts where the matter requires.

Step 03

Hearings & Appeals

Representation before First Instance, Appeal and — where the law permits — the Court of Cassation.

Step 04

Enforcement & Recovery

Translating a favourable judgement into a recovered sum — through the Hasila enforcement infrastructure and beyond.
