    FAQs

    Commercial Dispute Resolution is essentially disputes in a commercial context. Most commonly it involves disputes between businesses and relates to the commercial agreements that they have with each other.

    Litigation is where parties attempt to resolve their dispute through the formal court system.

    Arbitration is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”), where parties jointly appoint an arbitrator/panel of arbitrators to hear the dispute and make a decision which, whilst not made through the court system, is usually binding and enforceable in the courts.

    Mediation is another method of ADR. Here, the parties appoint an independent mediator to diplomatically work with the parties on a Without Prejudice basis to bring them together and try to resolve the dispute without the need for court proceedings.

    Dispute Resolution is complicated, stressful, time-consuming and potentially expensive. A dispute resolution solicitor can advise appropriately on the right approach to each dispute, navigate the client through the process and focus minds on what the best outcome for the client is likely to be, taking into account the commercial, factual and legal circumstances of the dispute.

    There is no single answer to this. Generally speaking, the costs of dispute resolution rise with the complexity and value of each individual case. It goes without saying that dispute resolution is far from inexpensive and to compound this, comes without the guarantee of a positive outcome at the end. Therefore, great care must be taken and advice from a dispute resolution solicitor sought from the start of a dispute, so that costs can be appropriately managed.

    Highly recommended. Took all of the strain and stress during conveyancing and explained everything clearly and concisely.

    Family & Divorce

    Over the period I found you to be professional, assured, confident and well-prepared dealing with the technical and complex. Sometimes issues were almost forensic. This was complimented by your ability to understand the personal anxiety that a client experiences as the process takes different directions and help with an empathetic approach which was much valued.

    Your great patience was much appreciated, your lovely approach to people made me feel like a friend rather than a client- that makes the trauma of divorce easier to get through. Thank you again for everything.

    I just wanted to thank you for all the time, effort and meticulous attention to detail regarding my case over the past year or so.  You are always prepared to go the extra mile, working long hours and your ability to recall the smallest and often most significant details amongst a wealth of facts in my highly complex case never ceases to amaze me.  I appreciate all you have done and the manner in which you conducted my case and liaised with me throughout. It was very reassuring to have you on my side.  I do not know what I would have done without you.
