How We Approach Disputes
Every matter starts the same way: an honest assessment of the merits, the money at stake and the realistic routes to resolution — so you decide whether a dispute is worth fighting before committing to it. The courts' pre-action protocols reward that discipline: most of the disputes we handle resolve without a trial, on terms shaped by being visibly ready for one.
Whatever the dispute, the same rules hold: strict time limits apply, evidence fades faster than any deadline, and early advice preserves options that delay destroys. If you're unsure which service fits your situation, call us — the first conversation sorts that out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which service do I need?
You don't have to know — describe what's happened and we'll route it. Business conflicts sit under commercial litigation or contractual disputes, challenges to public bodies under judicial review, and injury or negligence claims under the relevant claims service. One team handles all of it, so nothing is lost in a handover.
Do you act outside London?
Yes. We're based at Gray's Inn Road in London and act for clients across England and Wales — most litigation is now conducted remotely until hearings, so location rarely limits who we can act for.
What will it cost?
It depends on the dispute and how far it runs. Injury and negligence claims usually proceed no win no fee; commercial matters are costed openly before each stage, with the cost-benefit case kept under review. Our fees page sets out our fee structures and funding options.
Tell us what's happened. We'll tell you where you stand, which route fits, and what it will realistically cost — before you commit to anything.
