Our solutions meet our client’s objectives and needs. Dispute avoidance and early resolution of disputes is a large part of our practice.

Disputes relating to residential property are regularly stressful. We appreciate that those involved will want to resolve or avoid the dispute as quickly as possible.

Our intellectual property solicitors advise businesses and individuals on how to protect and seek resolution when there is an IP infringement.

Before you can make any decision as to whether you wish to engage in resolving a dispute and/or pursue or defend litigation, you will need to understand how much the process will cost, when fees will need to be paid and the options for funding the likely costs.

Our experience is that insurers are quick to decline cover but, on a more careful evaluation of the claim and the applicable legal and regulatory obligations, insurance can be reinstated and claims paid.

Employment and consultancy contracts often contain clauses restricting an individual’s working activity when they leave a business. These post termination restrictions, also called ‘restrictive covenants’, typically restrict the ex-staff member’s ability to work in competing businesses, to deal with clients, to try to win business from them, or to poach other staff members.

Whether you are looking to resolve a business or personal dispute, alternative dispute resolution can be a cost-effective, efficient and less stressful way of achieving the result you need.

We regularly see the havoc caused when insurance does not respond as intended and advise on how to put it right.
