For businesses and individuals who need a clear assessment of a dispute, their options and the practical consequences of taking action.

Our approach
We review the documents, relevant deadlines and the outcome you want to achieve. Our advice considers the legal position, evidence, likely costs and options for resolving the dispute, including negotiation where appropriate. Before proceedings, we discuss the likely cost in relation to the amount at stake and the practical prospects of recovering money.
Common questions
Do I have to go to court?
Court proceedings are one possible route. Depending on the circumstances, negotiation, mediation or another form of dispute resolution may be appropriate. We discuss these options with you.
What if I have received court papers?
Contact us promptly and tell us the date received and any deadline shown. Sending an enquiry does not extend a deadline or mean we have agreed to act.
