Disputes come in lots of different forms so you need different tools to sort them out.

Sometimes you can’t avoid going to court. Sometimes you can get a better result with mediation or arbitration. If you’re in a dispute then you need to find the best solution for you.

We have specialists in all areas of resolving disputes – from experienced court lawyers to trained mediators. Talk to us.

We can also represent you before the many different tribunals (such as the Weathertight Homes Tribunal) which affect us all from time to time.
