Litigation
Unfortunately, disputes do arise, whether of a personal nature or in relation to a business relationship. Ordinarily, a business dispute is likely to be based in contract, but a personal dispute can be extremely varied as to its basis. Whatever the circumstances, we appreciate that it will be very time consuming and stressful so our aim is to break down the components to address them as efficiently as possible with a view to resolving the dispute without the need to commence Court proceedings. If Court proceedings are necessary, we will ensure that you are aware of the likely outcomes, likely costs and the risks, whilst introducing expert Counsel to the team. We have a specialist who has practised in this area for over 20 years. Please telephone us to discuss your specific circumstances.
