How our Dispute Resolution solicitors can help

We specialise in the following departments:

Our Litigation Services

Disputes appear in many areas of life. They can relate to your family, home, workplace, or professional services. Our litigation solicitors can help with both civil and commercial disputes.

Disputing a Will

Going through the probate process after a family member or friend has died is never easy. The situation can be made much worse if you feel you weren’t left what you felt you deserved in the Will, or that the person who died made the Will under undue influence.

What Is a TOLATA Claim?

Pursuing a Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act (TOLATA) claim can feel overwhelming, so clarifying the process and required documents is essential to securing a fair outcome and protecting your share in jointly-owned assets. Our experienced team is here to guide you through every step, ensuring you understand your rights and options along the way.

Professional Negligence Claims

Sometimes professionals that you rely on make mistakes that have a negative impact on you and your affairs. This can be classed as professional negligence.

If you have been let down by a professional such as an architect, accountant, lawyer or other advisor, we may be able to help you claim compensation for your loss.
