Dispute Resolution
Dispute Resolution
Negotiation, mediation and, when it is needed, litigation. We aim for the quickest sensible outcome, not the longest.
Most disputes do not need a courtroom. They need someone who can assess the position honestly, set out the options and negotiate firmly. That is what we do first.
When litigation is the right route we run it efficiently, keep you informed and never let costs run ahead of what the claim is worth.
Typical situations
A client or customer who has not paid an invoice
A contract that has been broken
Neighbour and property disputes
Professional negligence
Debt recovery
How it works
We assess your position and give you a frank view on the strength of your case.
We write to the other side and explore settlement or mediation.
If proceedings are necessary, we agree a staged budget and keep you updated at every step.
How we charge
An initial assessment at a fixed fee. Further work is charged hourly against a staged budget agreed with you in advance.
