Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Our Litigation and Dispute Resolution Department is highly experienced in cases initiated before all Courts in Ireland. In particular, we regularly advise in complex High Court and Commercial Court actions on behalf of domestic and international clients.
Our experienced practitioners advise and represent clients in a wide range of commercial disputes.
Our work spans shareholder disputes, professional negligence actions, property disputes, breach of contract claims, repossession claims, planning disputes and high value asset recovery claims.
BHSM recognises that litigation can be a distraction for businesses and individuals, and we aim to resolve disputes quickly, with minimum exposure to legal costs.
We specialise in all aspects of alternative dispute resolution, advising clients in mediations and arbitrations, where appropriate.
Our Litigation & Dispute Resolution Team is ranked as a Leading Firm in the Legal 500 EMEA Guide 2024/2025
"The BHSM team is the perfect size to facilitate integration and close relationships. The dispute resolution team are all familiar with their banking and property solicitors meaning all departments have a knowledge of what is going on with our business."
"The knowledge and expertise of BHSM is exceptionally great. They pay attention to all details, focus on the case and listen to their customers. They address all concerns and questions and fight the case with the soul and heart, which has led to successful outcomes in our legal matters."
"They provided a very fast, efficient response, kept us up to date all the time. Very knowledgeable and professional. We love to work with the individuals at BHSM on legal matters."
"Sarah O'Toole is our partner. She is calm, cool and collected. Importantly in litigation, you know she is always advising on the basis of what is best for you as a client despite it perhaps being more lucrative for the firm to press ahead with court matters."
