About
Experienced dispute support, delivered directly.
RWS was founded by Ryan Williams to provide experienced, practical assistance in contentious matters without the cost structure of a traditional law firm. It operates as an independent, unregulated legal consultancy — a dispute resolution consultant for individuals and businesses who need City-level expertise without City-firm overhead.
Ryan qualified as a solicitor in 2013 and later became a partner specialising in dispute resolution at a City law firm. His experience includes complex commercial and civil disputes, negotiation, settlement strategy, litigation strategy, arbitration and the preparation of substantial contentious matters.

Clients deal directly with Ryan, without layers of staffing or unnecessary duplication.
Focused
The work is scoped around what the matter actually needs: analysis, strategy, drafting or preparation.
Clear on cost
Where possible, scope and fees are agreed in advance, including fixed fees for defined pieces of work.
