Litigation & Disputes
Nobody sets out to end up in a dispute. They tend to arrive uninvited, at an inconvenient moment, and from any direction: a customer who stops paying, a neighbour who moves a fence, a lease that ends badly, an estate that divides a family. What almost everyone wants first is the same thing. Where do I actually stand, and what is this going to cost me?
We answer that question straight. You’ll deal directly with a qualified solicitor who gives you a realistic view of your position, including the parts you might not want to hear, and a clear sense of what a dispute is likely to cost in time as well as money. From there you can decide how far you want to take it. Many matters settle through negotiation or mediation, which is usually quicker, cheaper and less bruising than court; but when court is the right answer, we’re experienced advocates and we’ll see it through.
Our team acts for businesses and individuals, and on either side of an argument. Because disputes rarely sit on their own, and there is often a property, a business or an estate somewhere in the background, we can draw on the rest of the expertise within our firm without handing you on to strangers.
