Civil Litigation

Advice and representation in civil disputes, including pre-action correspondence, negotiation, mediation and court proceedings.

Many civil disputes can be resolved without a trial, but some must be decided by a court. We advise on the strength of your position, the options available and the likely time and cost involved, and we represent you at each stage of the dispute.

Matters we handle

  • Contract and payment disputes
  • Recovery of money owed
  • Property and tenancy disputes
  • Professional and commercial disagreements
  • Legal notices, demands and replies
  • Court proceedings and appeals

Our approach

We review the documents and chronology first, then advise whether the matter is best pursued through correspondence, negotiation, mediation or court proceedings. Where a settlement is reasonable we will say so; where a claim should be pursued or defended, we prepare it carefully.

Before you contact us

It helps to have the following to hand when you get in touch:

  • Contracts, invoices and correspondence
  • Any notices received or sent
  • A chronology of the key events
  • Details of any deadlines or hearing dates

To discuss your matter, please use the contact form. Information on this page is general in nature and is not legal advice.
