SSL - strategic & sensitive litigation unit

Why call a specialist litigation unit?

All litigation comes with risk, some more than others. And the sort of cases we’re talking about need specialist support. They’re not run of the mill and if handled badly they can put your organisation’s business or reputation at risk. We’ve handled complex multi-party insurance litigation for over 40 years and are the market leaders. Our strategic & sensitive litigation unit (SSL) has been designed to ensure our clients minimise these risks. We understand the issues, cost constraints and complexities of this work and by contacting one of our experts you can rest assured that we’ll work with you from initial planning through to conclusion of the case to achieve the best result.

How can our SSL unit help you:

Strategic – if your case is leading edge or highly complex, then you need someone who is used to handling this type of case to provide a rapid response. Buller Jeffries’ team will keep you advised at every stage, planning with you, explaining the difficulties in plain English and work alongside you to achieve the desired outcome.

Sensitive litigation can impact on business in many different ways. The common thread is the nature of the claim which requires specialist knowledge and an immediate appreciation of the impact to your business – this only comes with experience. We will ensure that any adverse publicity is minimised, your liabilities are mitigated and that the best result is achieved.

Abuse claims, HSE prosecutions, inquests and claims against your profession can all cause damage to your reputation. As soon as you contact Buller Jeffries, we’ll work to safeguard your reputation and put in place tailor made procedures to ensure we get the right result for you and your business.
