Civil / Commercial Litigation

Litigation is the method of resolving disputes between individuals and organisations. You may find yourself involved in such a dispute and if so, we would always recommend seeking legal advice at the very earliest opportunity.

We are able to offer practical and commercial advice to guide you through what is potentially a very stressful situation. Your dispute may well end up in Court and we can conduct the proceedings on

your behalf to take away the pressures involved. However, there are a number of ways of avoiding Court proceedings including engaging in Alternative Dispute Resolution to find the best possible solution to suit your objectives on a case by case basis.

We can assist you in the following areas:

• Contractual disputes in the High and County Courts, of all values and differing complexities;
• Professional Negligence claims (including action against Solicitors, Accountants, Surveyors and other Construction Professionals);
• Commercial and Residential Landlord and Tenant disputes;
• Contentious Probate including claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, actions for Breach of Trust , breach of Fiduciary duty, challenging the validity of a Will;
• Construction and Engineering Disputes;
• Alternative Dispute Resolution, including the use of Mediation as encouraged by the Courts;
• Commercial Debt Recovery
• Shareholder and Partnership Disputes

We have an experienced and successful Commercial Mediator, John Colvin, in our team and are keen to use methods such as Arbitration, Adjudication and Mediation wherever possible.

If you would like more information or would like a free initial consultation then please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your case on 01244 312306 or by email John Colvin or by fax 01244 350261.
