| Commercial and Contractual Disputes
We have an extremely experienced and highly motivated litigation team who are able to provide wide-ranging advice and assistance on dealing with commercial and contractual disputes. At Girlings Solicitors, our main aim is to guide clients towards a cost effective and speedy resolution and to avoid, wherever possible, an extended time consuming and costly litigation process. Where litigation appears to be the only course open to a client, we do regularly represent our commercial clients (both large and small) in substantial matters in both the High Court and the local county courts. Our services extend to other related commercial areas, including property litigation, landlord and tenant, partnership disputes, professional negligence claims and shareholder actions/disputes. As well as providing advice about traditional forms of litigation, we can also advise you on alternative dispute resolution methods, including arbitration and mediation (both formal and informal), which an increasing number of our commercial clients are opting for nowadays. The litigation team is based primarily at our Canterbury office, although David Mallinson, Head of the Civil Litigation department, works from our Ashford office and maintains close links with our corporate and commercial lawyers as well as the employment team, who are all based there. In addition, the Canterbury office provides a dedicated and cost effective debt recovery service, which begins with an initial 'letter before action' and continues through, if necessary, to the issue of proceedings and enforcement action where required. Often an initial letter is sufficient to generate a positive response from the debtor. If further action is required, this is always dealt with in close consultation with the client to ensure costs are minimised throughout the process and unrecoverable debts are, hopefully, identified at the earliest possible opportunity. For more information about any of our services, please contact us via e-mail (see 'Meet the team' for details). |
