LITIGATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION                                 

Disputes can arise in many different situations, including contracts, property, debts, estates and disagreements between individuals or businesses.

​

Our dispute resolution team can advise you on your options and help you decide the most appropriate way to proceed. Where possible, we will explore whether the dispute can be resolved without court proceedings, for example through negotiation, correspondence or mediation.

​

If court proceedings become necessary, we can guide you through the process, explain the likely steps involved and help you prepare for hearings.

​

How We Can Help

​

We can advise on a range of disputes, including:

• contractual disputes;

• property disputes;

• boundary disputes;

• landlord and tenant disputes;

• debt recovery;

• disputes between co-owners of property;

• cohabitation-related financial disputes;

• contentious Wills, probate and estate disputes; and

• commercial disputes.

​

Our Approach

​

At the outset, we will:

• discuss the background to the dispute;

• identify the key issues;

• explain the options available;

• consider whether negotiation, mediation or another form of alternative dispute resolution may be appropriate;

• explain the court process if proceedings are required;

• provide clear information about likely costs before work begins; and

• keep you updated as the matter progresses.

​

Where specialist advocacy is required, we may recommend instructing a barrister. If that is appropriate, we will explain the reason, the likely role of the barrister and any additional cost before instructions are given.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss a dispute and the options available.
