Dispute Resolution & Litigation Solicitors
Our litigation department provides high quality advice to our clients on a broad range of matters. Our approach is efficient and solutions focused. We assist our clients to resolve matters through alternative dispute resolution as well as through the court procedure. We endeavour to advise constructively on innovative ways to avoid future disputes and litigation.
We are involved in advising clients on both domestic and international disputes for companies as well as individuals. These disputes are often contractual in their nature, involving arguments about terms and conditions of contracts and breaches of contract such as non payment. We also advise clients on building and construction disputes, professional negligence and banking recoveries including freezing orders.
We act for freeholders, landlords, tenants and lenders in disputes relating to property. These disputes often include non payment of rent and services charges, forfeiture of leases, possession of premises, disputes about the level of service charges and failure by a party to comply with their obligations under a lease. We are regularly instructed to obtain or resist injunction applications, often relating to unauthorised alterations to a property in breach of the lease. We have experience in all divisions of the High Court, County Court and the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal.
Our clients are very wide ranging including banks, private and public companies, landlords, tenants, professional service firms, small and medium sized businesses as well as private individuals.
