Property Dispute Resolution
Our specialist property dispute resolution team
can help to steer you through the complexities
of the law to identify practical, cost effective
options. We know that occasionally in property
disputes, timing can be crucial. Our clients look
to us for prompt, effective advice.
Our advice to our clients is often to avoid
becoming involved in lengthy and costly
disputes or litigation and to consider other
means of finding a solution. We aim, where
possible, to resolve the issue without
proceedings, using negotiation or other kinds of
dispute resolution, such as mediation.
We are much more than litigators. While our
expertise is invaluable in a dispute, our
steadfast advice can also be relied on for non-
contentious matters. We are adept at
anticipating potential areas where issues might
arise, advising on strategy and finding practical
solutions.
This small but top-flight practice enjoys an
excellent reputation with charities and public
sector clients; ‘much larger firms do not
compare with the attention to detail that the
firm provides’. The team ‘takes a real interest
in the individual needs of clients’.
