It serves both individuals and businesses and describes itself as an alternative to traditional commercial lawyers. Its areas of practice cover automotive law, construction law, contract law, civil fraud, consumer law, dispute resolution, general legal advice and yacht law.

Specialisation in automotive and high-end vehicles

The firm places automotive law among its main areas and states that it has knowledge of the car retail sector. Among its most popular services is returning a financed vehicle due to faults. The firm declares experience in litigation concerning vehicle sales and restoration, with attention to classic cars, luxury marques and performance supercars, both in the UK and internationally. It also handles claims relating to Jaguar Land Rover: on its website it recalls that, under the Consumer Rights Act, if a vehicle develops a fault that is more than minor within six months of delivery, it is presumed to have been faulty at the time of delivery, without prejudice to the dealer or finance company being able to provide evidence to the contrary.
