Civil Litigation

Whenever there is a dispute between individuals and businesses alike, there is always the potential for the conflict to result in Court proceedings. Our department is experienced in this area and deals with a wide and varied range of cases in both the High Court and County Court in England and Wales. We will aim to solve any problem as economically as possible.

However, what we would rather do is consider your dispute with you before the issue of Court proceedings becomes inevitable and advise you on the alternative methods of resolving disputes. There are many which have been devised to act as an alternative or a supplement to Court Proceedings. Following recent major reforms to the Court system a more open and conciliatory approach to resolving difference is evolving.

If conciliation and negotiation are not successful in resolving a matter then the enhanced Court system remains available. We can provide the expertise you need to progress your case.

We undertake work in a wide spectrum including:-

  • Consumer rights.
  • Faulty workmanship.
  • Contractural disputes.
  • Misrepresentation.
  • Negligence.
  • Inheritance disputes.
  • Professional negligence
  • Human rights
  • Debts.
  • Personal Injury (see our separate page).
