Dispute Resolution

We understand that effective dispute resolution involves much more than advising our clients on the law and taking a matter all the way to court. We are straightforward and resourceful in dealing with our clients and always strive to understand their commercial needs before we start working to resolve the dispute. We adopt a strategic and commercially realistic approach and work alongside our clients to achieve results quickly and cost-effectively.

We are mindful of the potential cost of litigation and will always work to resolve a matter before having to commence proceedings, be that by way of mediation, arbitration, adjudication or other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

Our fees, as well as the majority of Disbursements costs are subject to VAT at the current rate of 20%

Clients utilise our expertise in the following areas:

• All forms of commercial contract disputes

• Shareholder, director and partnership disputes

• Construction disputes

• Professional negligence

• Contentious probate

• Intellectual property disputes

• Corporate insolvency and bankruptcy

• Mediation and arbitration

• Party wall disputes

• Rights of light disputes

• Boundary disputes

• Rights of access and rights of way disputes

The fees for carrying out litigation will depend on a variety of factors and are billed on an hourly rate basis. We discuss rates prior to undertaking any work leading to litigation.

Disbursements will be charged separately and our hourly rates exclude VAT.
