Civil disputes
Much as we would like to say otherwise, it is a fact that disputes cannot always be avoided.
Disputes take on many different forms and can arise in most aspect of everyday life such as between family members, former friends, professional advisers and colleagues. It is our job to try and alleviate some of the stress and anxiety that comes when you are faced with a dispute of whatever nature. This can be when you need to take action against another party or defend an action being taken against you.
Our specialist experienced litigation lawyers work with you and listen to what you have to say in order to achieve the best outcome in an effective timely and cost effective way without any reduction in our quality of professional service. We assess every claim in a realistic way and will advise you if there are alternatives to taking court proceedings which is always a costly course of action. In some cases, however this the only way to proceed to secure the right outcome for our clients.
