Dispute Resolution

If you're involved in a dispute it can be a very uncertain and stressful business, especially with concerns such as how long it might drag on, how much it's going to cost, and whether you've got a chance of winning.

So it's reassuring to know that our Dispute Resolution Team will provide practical, common-sense advice on dispute resolution and litigation procedures, covering matters such as:

• Landlord and tenant disputes
• Boundary and property disagreements
• Conflicts with suppliers or service providers
• Problems with contracts
• Claims on the estate of someone who has passed away
• Professional negligence
• Problems with debt repayment

Wherever possible, we always try and settle disputes by negotiation - and rather than go to court, we'd prefer to use Alternative Dispute Resolution (known as ADR) methods such as mediation and arbitration. These procedures are more informal, involve less conflict and stress - and are usually less costly.

Sometimes, though, court action is necessary - and when this is the case, we'll represent you and your interests with robustness and vigour, fighting your corner every step of the way in order to secure justice - and the best result for you.
