Our dispute resolution team are on hand to deal with a variety of disputes. They have significant experience in achieving the best results for clients, not only in the traditional court process, ranging from the county courts to the Court of Appeal, but also through mediation, negotiation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Our dispute resolution solicitors can advise on the following:

• Building disputes
• Consumer problems
• Contractual disputes
• Debt recovery
• Disputed wills
• Partnership/shareholder disputes
• Professional negligence (claims against solicitors, surveyors and architects)
• Neighbour disputes (boundaries, rights of way, nuisance, encroachment, and/or harassment)
• Landlord & tenant disputes, including possession proceedings

Neighbour Disputes

Conflicts with neighbours are common and can escalate quickly. Examples include:

• Boundary disputes: Arguments over property lines or fencing.
• Rights of way: Disagreements over shared pathways or driveways.
• Nuisance or harassment: Issues such as excessive noise or intimidating behaviour.

Our dispute solicitors aim to resolve these disputes amicably through mediation or negotiation, but we can pursue legal action if needed.

Landlord and Tenant Disputes

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, disputes can arise over:

• Rent arrears or payment disagreements.
• Breaches of tenancy agreements.
• Possession proceedings or eviction processes.

Our property litigation solicitors provide clear advice and representation, helping you resolve these issues efficiently.

Professional Negligence Claims

When you rely on a professional’s expertise, errors can have serious consequences. We assist with claims against:

• Solicitors: For mishandling cases, missed deadlines, or poor advice.
• Surveyors: For inaccurate property valuations or reports.
• Architects: For defective designs or project mismanagement.

If you’ve suffered due to professional negligence, our team can help you seek compensation and resolve the matter.

Contractual Disputes

Contractual disputes often involve:

• Breach of contract: Failure to deliver goods or services as agreed.
• Unclear terms: Misinterpretations or ambiguities in a contract’s language.
• Payment issues: Non-payment or late payment disputes.

Our contract dispute solicitors work to resolve these matters quickly, often through negotiation or arbitration. For eligible cases, we may offer no win no fee arrangements.

Disputed Wills and Inheritance Claims

Conflicts over wills can arise when family members disagree on how assets should be distributed. Examples include:

• Allegations of undue influence on the will’s creation.
• Disputes over the interpretation of the will.
• Claims by dependents for reasonable financial provision under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.

Our team provides compassionate support, using mediation where possible to avoid costly litigation.
