Practice areas
What ManAT Legal advises on
The firm’s work is litigation, advisory and dispute resolution across ten practice areas. Four of them account for most of the firm’s instructions. The remaining six are handled by the same advocates and frequently arise alongside the first four.
Principal practices
The four areas where the firm does most of its work
Each page below sets out the situations the firm is instructed in, how those matters proceed, which advocates handle them and which courts hear them.

Working with the firm
How instructions usually begin
Most matters start with a consultation at which the facts are set out and the documents examined. What follows from that is a view on which forum applies, what the realistic options are, and what the matter will require of you.
Consultations are by prior appointment at either office. If a matter is urgent, say so when you make contact.
