Our civil litigation team is able to offer friendly advice (extending from informal advice through to full representation in court if required) in connection with any dispute or legal problem which you may be experiencing, whether you wish to start proceedings or are subject yourself to a claim made by a third party.

Our main aim is to assist and guide you towards a cost effective and speedy resolution of any disputes or issues which affect you.

We have a wealth of experience to call on and can provide advice and assistance with the following:

If you find yourself involved in any type of dispute or potential claim, speak to us to see if we can help. If we find (unusually) that we cannot, then we are happy to help refer you to another specialist who can, such as an accountant, an insolvency practitioner or a surveyor, with whom we have close professional contacts.

Court proceedings can be expensive, so we offer clients advice on a variety of dispute resolution options. These include arbitration, mediation (both formal and informal) and other forms of alternative dispute resolution - as well as the more traditional forms of court proceedings.

We are all familiar with the expense and the pressures which can be created by any form of dispute, and we will always do our best to minimise the impact of these issues.

Legal costs can become an additional burden, so we are flexible about funding arrangements. We recommend, for example, that clients initially check their own household insurance policies, as increasingly these do provide cover for certain types of dispute.
