LITIGATION & DISPUTE

Our Litigation department recognises that litigation is typically the means of last resort. For this reason, our policy has always been to do our best to negotiate a favourable settlement rather than resort immediately to litigation. This is not to say that we approach litigation in a “softly softly” manner – on the contrary, if we cannot achieve our Clients’ aims by negotiation then proceedings are instituted and fought vigorously on their behalf.

We often suggest addressing and managing disputes earlier in order to avoid further escalation.

The Litigation Department offers specialist advice in the following areas for both Claimant and Defendant:-

• Debt collection (full range of services available – we act for many local housing associations).
• Insolvency / Bankruptcy.
• Commercial and contractual disputes.
• Building disputes.
• Landlord and tenant.
• Personal injury.
• Employment disputes (for both employer and employee).
• Professional negligence.
• Consumer activities and services.

We would be delighted to offer a free initial appointment but are unable to assist with Legal Aid applications.
