Dispute Resolution
You may find yourself, through no fault of your own, in a situation which demands some form of action to recover losses, or defend claims against you. Our team can advise you from the outset on the best course of action, and work with you throughout any claim to protect your interests and get the best result for you.
Disputes do not need not to end up in court, but if resolution cannot be achieved through formal communication, or negotiation, then we can prepare your case and represent you at court.
We can provide advice in the following areas:-
- Contractual disputes of all types
- Disputes relating to the sales of goods and products
- Property disputes
- Building disputes
- Boundary disputes
- Neighbour disputes
- Professional negligence (involving Solicitors and Surveyors in particular).
- Disputes concerning Wills and Estates
If you would like one of our litigation experts to get in touch with you, please complete the contact form or call one of the team directly.
We are always looking to provide an exceptional service to our clients. For this reason, should you need to speak to one of the lawyers in our Dispute Resolution team outside of normal working hours (9.00am and 5.30pm), please call them free on 0800 652 6056.
