Dispute Resolution
DQ’s market-leading Dispute Resolution team regularly advises not only high net worth individuals, large corporate entities, financial institutions and industry leaders, but also start-up businesses and local fiduciary businesses. We provide a full remit of services, ranging from acting in large commercial disputes and asset tracing, through to providing employment advice and assistance with relationship disputes.
Our Dispute Resolution team has significant experience at all levels of the Isle of Man High Court and adopts a forward-thinking approach, striving to provide clients with a first-class, tailored, and cost-effective service to best suit individual legal and business requirements. DQ’s Dispute Resolution team has been regularly ranked by the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners UK and prides itself on its responsiveness to clients and maintaining its status as a market leader on the Island, having regularly acted in various complex high-profile cases in the Isle of Man.
Whilst DQ is a one-jurisdiction law firm, DQ’s membership in the TAG Alliance (one of the largest and most respected multidisciplinary alliances of independent firms covering 110 countries), the Employment Law Alliance and the International Fraud Group (containing a handpicked group of specialist fraud lawyers across the world) means that where there is a multi-jurisdictional element to a particular piece of litigation and the client requires advice or assistance in another jurisdiction, we are able to quickly call upon long-standing global connections.
