2. Wills, Inheritance, Trusts & Probate Disputes
The death of a loved one can be a very overwhelming time. Even if the deceased had an up-to-date Will in place, disputes may still arise. Whatever situation you find yourself in, our experienced inheritance dispute team, part of our dispute resolution lawyers, can help guide you with clear, pragmatic advice.
3. Consumer Disputes
Receiving faulty goods or experiencing poor service can be incredibly frustrating. This is especially true if the supplier refuses to acknowledge the fault as their own and compensate you accordingly. If you have suffered due to the negligence of a supplier, our expert consumer dispute team, backed by our dispute resolution lawyers, can support you in making a claim. If on the other hand, you need to defend a claim against you, we are equally able to advise you on how best to do so.

6. Negligence Disputes
If you have suffered significant losses following the work or advice of a professional, you may wish to make a claim against them. Professionals have a duty of care to their clients: if they fail to meet the standards you would reasonably expect from their profession, then it’s worth seeking the advice of our expert dispute resolution lawyers.
7. Employment Settlement Agreements
Settlement agreements are documents that record an agreement reached between an employer and an employee, usually at the termination of employment. Once signed, settlement agreements are legally binding. This is why, if faced with redundancy or any other termination of employment, you should always seek expert legal advice before reaching an agreement or signing documentation. Our experienced dispute resolution lawyers can ensure that any agreement is drafted in your best interests. We can also represent you at this time by handling the situation and all communications on your behalf.
