Our team is comprised of experienced lawyers who are sensitive to the demands and practicalities that disputes cause to those that become involved in them. Our approach is always informed by achieving the most cost effective and expedient outcomes for those who trust us to resolve their complex issues in trying circumstances.
We are regularly instructed in relation to disputes between businesses that arise out of commercial agreements involving:
We are adept at dealing with scenarios that are factually complex, where damages are substantial, and recourse to the High Court and the specialist lists within it become unavoidable. We also have significant experience of obtaining interim remedies n the context of commercial disputes to preserve assets with a view to preventing existing or future dissipation.
However, we are flexible, open and available to find ways of providing input to clients to assist them in resolving disputes of whatever nature by tailoring the scope of what we do in order to make the biggest and most effective impact.
Unfortunately, those running businesses often must face a scenario where those who sit alongside them can grow to be the most significant barrier to commercial success. These disputes can often be the most destructive and personally burdensome that any businessperson may face.
Our assistance is regularly sought to assist clients in drawing a line under disputes that arise within businesses themselves. We are highly experienced in assisting clients with:
The Ackroyd disputes team has significant expertise in actions conducted by law enforcement agencies and other Government bodies that arise from the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the legislative anti-money laundering framework in place in England and Wales.
We act for individuals and businesses who have been subject to criminal restraint orders. We also act for individuals and businesses subject to a variety of civil freezing orders obtained under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 that have been imposed because of direct or indirect interaction with assets alleged to be the fruits of criminally unlawful conduct.
Additionally, we assist businesses and individuals who have additional proceedings taken against them for the recovery of assets by providing assertive defences where the evidence and circumstances allow and providing advice on bespoke and discreet settlement strategies as appropriate.
We achieve our clients ends in several ways including:
Civil Recovery proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act are increasingly and especially being used by the National Crime Agency, the Regional Organised and Economic Crime Units of the UK’s police forces, the Director of Public Prosecutions and HMRC to recover assets obtained through
alleged unlawful conduct. We advise and assist in all stages of the civil recovery process in this little-known and often indiscriminate area of law.
Our experience with real and leasehold property disputes includes:
We are frequently instructed to deal both with disputes involving interests in individual properties and concurrent disputes involving multiple properties at the same time. We always aim to deliver value, to work in a cost-effective manner and to maintain a sensitivity to all parties with an interest in the resolution of any dispute.
We can act in matters where publication of unwanted material is threatened by the traditional press or on the internet at large. If necessary, we will take steps by way of written warnings or swift court injunctions to prevent publication. When we are instructed post publication we can take steps to seek removal of the offending material, an apology and/or retraction and, where appropriate, obtain compensation and a contribution to legal costs. Where privacy has been breached we can assist in threatening legal action against the offending party and/or make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
We’re committed to delivering the highest level of service, alongside fair, honest, and professional advice. Our job is to make your life easier, at every stage of the process. We’re ready to help you with any aspect of civil ligation.
