Dispute resolution – expert legal support

As an individual, you may have an issue with a tradesperson over something like building works, with a neighbour over boundaries or with a retailer over faulty goods or poor service.

We’ll help you understand your legal rights for that specific situation and provide sensible, pragmatic solutions to meet your specific needs.

As a business, you may have an issue with a supplier, customer, agent, landlord or tenant. We can offer practical legal advice in a range of situations and resolve disputes in a commercially-focused way that meets your needs, whatever your business size or sector.

You may also be involved in a dispute with another party who has decided to take action against you. Whatever the claim relates to, we’ll provide the expert, proactive legal advice you need to defend yourself or your business.

Our expert team covers all types of personal and business disputes, including:

  • Construction disputes – owners, developers, contractors, sub-contractors and other construction professionals may seek advice over breach of contact, poor workmanship or other related issues.

  • Consumer disputes – you may have received poor service or a product that’s unfit for service from a retailer, building contractor, manufacturer or online supplier.

  • Contested Wills – the validity of a Will can be challenged if you suspect it doesn’t reflect the deceased’s true wishes or doesn’t provide adequately for family members and dependents.

  • Contract disputes – disputes can involve contracts for goods and services, loan agreements, building contracts, franchise agreements, partnership disputes and more.

  • Financial disputes – you may have given a financial gift or loan to a friend or family member – or perhaps you have received one – but it has since become a source of disagreement.

  • Disputes with tenants – both residential and commercial landlords can face issues concerning rent arrears, alterations, damages or refusal to leave a property.

  • Professional negligence – you may wish to claim if you have suffered a loss due to a professional mistake, such as a very low settlement, expiry of limitation periods, breach of contracts or conveyancing.

  • Property disputes – issues can arise in relation to ownership, interest, boundary disputes and right of way.

We will attempt to resolve all disputes sensibly and reach the right solution without the potential expense and stress associated with going to court. This can include exploring mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

However, if court proceedings do become necessary, you will have the peace of mind of having the experts on your side.

We understand how mindful you’ll be of costs when enlisting a solicitor for dispute resolution. We’ll do our utmost to offer complete clarity on fees and timescales from the outset, with clear and consistent communication on progress throughout.
