Claremont Litigation Limited

Steve helped me out in what was a fairly complex litigation around the termination of an employment contract, with a linked shareholding which has an international pension fund element to consider. He showed deep technical knowledge, and balanced this perfectly with commercial pragmatism, at the end achieving a settlement that was many times more than the original offer from the other side, whilst gaining concessions around structuring for tax efficiency that they had claimed were simply not possible. I was kept informed at all times, and Steve responded quickly, clearly and effectively on all issues. He also wasn't just running the clock, and often showed that "less is more" and that it wasn't necessary to go into voluminous detail every time, which other firms have done, to build fees up. Great job, he's a pleasure to deal with and definitely my first call next time I need advice on a similar matter.

I went to Claremont Litigation seeking some advice on a shareholder agreement. Stephen was able to give me very clear advice, without legal jargon. His detailed analysis of the agreement empowered me to make sensible decisions going forward, and I feel the service was excellent value for money. Claremont Litigation will be my first choice should I have recourse for legal advice in the future.

VISFO instructed Claremont Litigation (Stephen Inglis) in relation to a number of business disputes with a former director/shareholder. The disputes were varied and raised various issues including company law, breach of copyright and breach of confidence. Claremont secured High Court injunctions for us to protect our business and our intellectual property. They also struck out the other sides’ defences and their counterclaims and recovered our costs.

VISFO partners with pharmaceutical companies operating globally. Our clients are split across the USA and Europe. We regularly work with the large law firms but, on this occasion, we chose to work with a smaller firm providing dedicated litigation expertise to deal with our claims. The team at Claremont have plenty of big firm experience and this showed in their ability to grasp and manage the legal issues which were complex and also the commercial issues which were in play and to communicate their strategy to our Board in a clear and effective way. Whichever side you’re on litigation is never pleasant but Claremont made the whole process easy for us to deal with. They were great to work with.

Without hesitation I would recommend Claremont Litigation and am more than happy to provide a reference is needed.
