Disputes
Multi-disciplinary expertise helping to anticipate and resolve a range of disputes.
Disputes are increasingly a fact of life for businesses. Multiple jurisdictions, numerous stakeholders, specialist subject matter, or the sheer volume of data can add to the challenge of building a compelling dispute strategy. FRA helps clients accurately understand the impact of these complexities and guide clients to the best resolution, whether a speedy settlement, arbitration or litigation.
Our multi-disciplinary support team will deliver insightful context and creative solutions to help build credible and defensible legal strategies. We support counsel, financial institutions and stakeholders at all stages of a dispute, including discovery, pre-case assessment, data analytics and analysis, expert reports or testimony as needed.

How we can help
Collaborators throughout the dispute lifecycle
Today’s most effective experts deliver more than analysis and presentation of evidence. FRA can strengthen your legal strategy with a blend of robust forensic techniques, strategic consultants who can clearly communicate complex concepts, and specialist subject matter and industry experts who spot strengths and weaknesses in evidence and opposing opinions.
Our professionals have been engaged on a variety of litigation matters involving the world’s largest professional services firms, Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies. Our industry experience includes banks, insurance companies, investors, accounting firms, oil & gas and energy giants, logistics and shipping companies, aerospace and defence, technology and more.
We have supported legal counsel and their clients from early case assessment and discovery, through to negotiating settlements and testifying in court, tailoring teams with the right combination of skills and specializations for each matter:
Independent, credible and innovative experts
Our experienced senior partners know how to align with counsel’s objectives while maintaining the independence and integrity of their input. Drawing on real world experience working in senior roles in industry and finance, our experts deliver valuable context and insight to counsel, which can translate to credible and compelling expert evidence in court if called upon.
Where complementary expertise is needed, we have a network of subject matter experts that can be drawn on to assist counsel in assembling and managing a focused team.
Cross-border specialists
Today’s clients – whether multinational conglomerates or start-ups expanding to new markets – almost all face some degree of risk of a cross-border dispute. Their legal teams need litigation support and testifying experts who are sensitive to the questions and challenges that arise with international arbitration and litigation, and can speak credibly in front of judges and arbitrators anywhere in the world.
FRA has built its reputation with law firms, companies, and authorities in cross-border matters : planning and executing all stages of the eDiscovery Reference Model, certifying multinational compliance programs, resolving multijurisdictional investigations and due diligence exercises.
