The commercial dispute resolution practice at Cripps has experience acting on a range of contentious matters, often with a cross-border element, with particular strength in the retail, technology, financial services and real estate sectors. The practice is led by Joanna Ford, based in Tunbridge Wells, and William Angas in Horsham, who recently joined the firm as part of its merger with PDT Solicitors. Ford is renowned for her expertise dealing with insolvency and restructuring related litigation, including director duties, as well as acting on behalf of lenders in enforcement proceedings. Angas is regarded for boosting the firm’s capacity in asset-based lending disputes, as well as shareholder disputes, along with Ed Weeks, who additionally focuses on director’s duties. Tom Bourne is increasingly involved in disputes arising around mergers and acquisition, including retention account disputes, and Hannah Proctor is noted for her experience in misfeasance claims against directors, breach of contract and insolvency proceedings.
