File Velocity is one of the hallmarks of Cantwell Lawyers.

There isn’t any substitute for high-quality legal services. Yet, side-by-side to quality is the need to successfully settle claims in the most timely manner possible. Increasing turnover increases profitability. This is why, time and time again, Cantwell Lawyers engages in innovative strategies to win early settlements of claims.

Cantwell Lawyers routinely successfully defend cases by having the claims withdrawn and our client’s costs paid, sometimes at an early stage of the litigations, saving you significant costs.

Client saves:

  • Acting for insurers in a major Supreme Court claim against an adventure company. The claim had been going for 8 years before we took it over and through arranged a mediation, resolved the claim within 8 months, saving the client $850,000.
