Dispute resolution

Focused dispute strategy for individuals and businesses.

A dispute is a commercial problem before it is a legal one. We advise on the merits early, so that the money you spend is spent on the outcome you want.

How we can help

Contract and commercial disputes

Breach of contract, supply and service disputes, and claims between businesses and their customers.

Debt recovery

Letters before action, statutory demands and enforcement, with a clear view on recoverability from the outset.

Property and landlord disputes

Possession, disrepair, service charge and boundary issues for owners, landlords and occupiers.

Professional negligence

Claims against advisers whose errors have caused loss, including missed deadlines and defective advice.

Employment-related disputes

Advice on settlement, restrictive covenants and workplace disputes for employees and employers.

Mediation and settlement

Preparation and representation at mediation, and settlement agreements that actually close the matter.

Our approach

  • An early view on merits, cost and recoverability.
  • Pre-action conduct handled properly to protect your position on costs.
  • Settlement pursued whenever it beats the litigated outcome.

Common questions

Is it worth pursuing my claim?
We look at merits, the value at stake, the likely cost and whether the other side can pay before recommending a course of action.
Can you act quickly to protect my position?
Yes. Where limitation dates or urgent applications are involved, tell us the date in your first message.
