HOW OUR COMMERCIAL LITIGATION TEAM CAN HELP

STARTING LITIGATION

If you wish to bring a claim we will work with you to ensure that this is done in the correct way, giving you the best chance of success. We will advise you on whether we believe your claim is strong enough to proceed. We will then draft a letter before action/letter of claim with all supporting documentation to begin the claim process. We can negotiate on your behalf with the other side. We will run your claim up until a final hearing and instruct a barrister to attend court if necessary. We can help you deal with any issues surrounding the final judgement and its enforcement, including lodging appeals.

DEFENDING AN ACTION

If an action has been brought against you, our litigation solicitors can help you build your defence, negotiate on your behalf and defend you in court if things progress that far. We will attempt to resolve the matter outside of court. This is often a cheaper, faster and less stressful option for everyone involved. Where settlement is not possible, we will run your defence up to a final hearing and instruct a barrister to attend court if necessary.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Throughout your litigation process we will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the other side. Where appropriate, we can work with all involved parties to attempt to reach a successful resolution without going to court. We have a number of trained dispute resolution experts on our team that have experience in attending mediation.

However, if court action is the best or only option, our solicitors have a strong track record of making strategic part 36 offers that achieve favourable costs outcomes for our clients.
