Disputes and Litigation
Personal Dispute Resolution And Litigation Solicitors
Personal disputes are often very stressful.
You might be in a dispute with a friend, family member, neighbour or employer. As a result of the disagreement, you could be worried about the impact on your finances, relationships or reputation.
Securing a swift positive outcome requires experienced litigators. We get to the heart of the issue, balancing smart negotiating techniques with robust enforcement of your legal rights.
But going to court should always be a last resort because of the time and costs involved. Our litigation solicitors can advise you on faster and more cost effective ways to resolve your dispute.
Often we can nip a dispute in the bud through early exchange of information and by highlighting clear breaches of contract terms.
We can pursue or defend claims. Browse the links below to learn more about…
