Dispute Resolution

Dispute Resolution

Strategic resolution of contested matters, from early negotiation through mediation to trial.

Overview

How we approach dispute resolution

Litigation is a commercial decision. Before issuing anything, we set out the realistic range of outcomes, the cost of each route and the point at which settlement becomes the better option.

Most matters settle. We prepare every matter as though it will not.

Common situations

  • Unpaid invoices and debt recovery
  • Breach of contract and misrepresentation
  • Professional negligence claims
  • Shareholder and partnership disputes
  • Property and boundary disputes

Our Process

Four stages, agreed in advance

A consistent structure applied to every matter in this fictional practice.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    A structured first conversation where we map out your dispute position, the outcome you want and the realistic routes to get there.

  2. 02

    Scope and cost agreement

    You receive a written plan setting out the work, who will carry it out and a transparent fee structure before anything begins.

  3. 03

    Strategy and progress

    Your named solicitor progresses the matter, negotiates on your behalf and updates you in plain English at every meaningful stage.

  4. 04

    Resolution and aftercare

    We conclude the matter, hand over a clear record of what was agreed and set out anything you should review in the future.
