These days most cases do not see the inside of a
court. Litigation is seen as the last resort as
there are a number of ways that disputes can be
resolved without the need and expense of court
proceedings, be it informal negotiation, more
formal mediation, adjudication, arbitration and
even other non court processes. The knack is
appreciating the right choice for the particular
requirements of the Client and the dispute.
We have experience of dealing in a variety of disputes over the years from small claims to multimillion pound multi party actions. We devote the same care whatever the problem.
The types of disputes we have handled (for either Claimant or Defendant) include:
• Disputes between land owners over the boundaries/extent of ownership/trespass;
• Between couples over their shares in property they jointly own;
• Contract disputes for building work (domestic and commercial);
• Sale of goods and services/Consumer problems;
• Debt claims
• Claims over the Estates of Deceased persons;
• Business disputes;
• Rejection by insurers of claims under insurance policies
The list goes on.
Professional claims
We are also particularly interested in dealing with claims for and against professionals.
We all rely at some stage on professionals to guide us through some of the more complicated aspects of life and living; the accountant to do our books; the surveyor to check our proposed new home, the architect to prepare plans for extensions; - even solicitors to advise on a dispute, house purchase or whatever.
Most of the time there is no problem, but professionals are like everyone else – human and fallible. They have insurance to cover them in the event, as they do from time to time, that they make a mistake and cause loss to a client.
In those circumstances a client may well have a claim for that loss.
We have experience in bringing claims against professionals for such losses and we would be happy to speak to you about any problems you have and assess whether we think you may have a claim.
This could be against your accountant, Solicitor, insurance broker, surveyor, valuer, architect, engineer, financial adviser or whoever.
Depending on the circumstances we sometimes act on a no win no fee basis but it is generally necessary to assess the case first. We can discuss with you fixed fees for such assessments.
