Why Work with Local Dispute Resolution Solicitors?
Engaging a local solicitor means having the ability to access in-person meetings and local knowledge.
Our Swindon team can use their knowledge of the local area to better understand the disputes that arise in this area, whether they involve commercial properties, residential lettings, or neighbour issues such as boundary disputes and noise complaints.
We also have knowledge and familiarity with local courts and professional networks, which can assist if formal proceedings become necessary.
Our lawyers use proven methods of dispute resolution—mediation, negotiation, and arbitration—alongside formal court or tribunal proceedings.
These approaches often help clients settle matters swiftly, preserve important relationships, and avoid or minimise the more costly-formal court processes.
If a dispute escalates, we are prepared to represent you in the court process and protect your interests at every stage, whilst ensuring that you understand all stages of the process and can make well-informed decisions.
What Is a Dispute Resolution Solicitor?
A dispute resolution solicitor is a legal professional specialising in resolving disputes between individuals or organisations without necessarily going to court. They help clients resolve issues such as property disputes, contractual disagreements, or workplace conflicts.
These solicitors use a variety of methods, including mediation, negotiation, and arbitration, to reach mutually agreeable outcomes.
While court proceedings (litigation) remain an option, dispute resolution lawyers often aim to resolve matters outside of court, saving time and costs for everyone involved.
Our team of expert dispute resolution solicitors in Swindon are skilled in handling complex cases efficiently, working to resolve disputes in a manner that aligns with your goals and provides the best possible outcome for you.
Our Dispute Resolution Services in Swindon
Property Disputes
Disagreements over land and buildings can involve disputes over boundary lines, rights of way, landlord-tenant conflicts, or defective construction work.
Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, tenant, or property developer, our solicitors can provide clarity on rights and responsibilities, and seek to enforce them, where necessary.
We aim to resolve matters through dialogue, and negotiation, where possible, but we can also represent you in court or tribunal proceedings, where necessary.
Contractual Disagreements
A well-drafted contract can help parties avoid future problems, but breaches of contract still occur.
Our team will examine the terms of each contract or agreement to identify rights and options, advise you in relation to potential issues, and negotiate on your behalf to achieve solutions.
If a settlement proves impossible, we will prepare and present the strongest possible case for you in any court proceedings.
Neighbour and Community Conflicts
Swindon’s vibrant neighbourhoods sometimes experience disputes over noise, property access, or nuisance behaviour.
Our solicitors handle these matters with a focus on preserving harmony wherever possible.
After initially asserting the relevant rights on your behalf, we will often seek to negotiate and/or engage in mediation to encourage cooperation and reduce the likelihood of a lasting dispute or an expensive court process.
Professional Negligence Claims
If a professional—such as a surveyor, architect, or solicitor—has provided substandard advice or services, the consequences can be significant.
Our dispute resolution solicitors assess the merits of your claim, gather evidence, and seek to recover compensation where appropriate.
This process can cover missed deadlines, incorrect valuations, defective designs, or other forms of negligence.
Contested Wills and Inheritance Claims
Disagreements over wills and inheritance can be particularly distressing, due to the fact that they often involve disputes between members of a family.
Our team helps clients navigate these disputes with sensitivity and fairness.
We can assist with disputes relating to the invalid execution of a will, challenging the validity of a will, Inheritance Act claims, executor and trustee disputes, negligence claims, statutory wills and deputyship orders.
Our contentious wills and probate lawyers are experts in handling sensitive disputes and offer flexible funding options, including “no win no fee” agreements and free initial consultations.
