There are many ways in which a dispute or conflict can arise, but this firm approaches each one with the same goal to resolve matters quickly and in the most cost effective manner we can. Our team will handle whatever matter it is right from the initial meeting to settlement or to  mediation (if appropriate) or all the way to a fully-contested Court hearing.

Your expectation for professionalism will of course be met, we also guarantee that:

  • We will keep you fully appraised of the situation as your case progresses so  that you remain in the driving seat at all times;
  • We will not advise you to continue if it is not in your best interests to do so;
  • We are transparent in relation to charging and can often work to fixed-fee estimates to keep costs manageable and
  • We will support you throughout easing the burden and stress

We deal with a variety of disputes on a daily basis, and the following are just an example:

  1. Claims for money or property: such as obtaining payment for unpaid invoices even where the debtors are abroad; shares in your jointly owned properties, damages for personal or business losses, restitution (return of a deposit or loan payment)
  2. Injunctions: either prohibitive, i.e.making someone stop something, or compelling someone do something.  
  3. Contract/Consumer claims: including breach of contract claims; correcting unfair contract terms and actions for faulty goods and services. Also claims of duress, misrepresentation or breach of confidentiality. 
  4. Negligence actions: such as claims for damages for financial loss stemming from someone else’s action or inaction, or claims stemming from the breach of a duty of care.
  5. Cohabite or landlord & tenant property disputes: occupation or non-molestation orders to move someone out of your property; order the sale of or carry out equitably accounting regarding the split of your joint assets and finances; disputes over service charges, repairs or management. 
  6. Cross-Border Litigation/Debt Collection. We specialise in issuing claims in the UK that can be enforced against debtor’s that reside or are located abroad. Likewise we can register foreign judgements and enforce or defend them here in the UK. 
  7. Defence and negotiation: helping out when you are on the receiving end of a claim – either   through mediation, negotiating your best possible position, or defending the claim at Court. 

Seeking legal advice at the early stages of a dispute really can help to save costs and can prevent the situation worsening any more than it needs to do. We’re always happy to chat through a potential matter with you on the telephone first, so feel free to give us a call.
