Resolving disputes efficiently
Disputes are rarely welcome, but they're sometimes unavoidable. We aim to resolve civil and commercial disputes efficiently — through negotiation wherever possible — and represent you firmly through court proceedings when that's genuinely the best route.

Civil & commercial litigation — frequently asked questions
Will my dispute have to go to court?
Not necessarily — many disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation before proceedings are ever issued.
Can you help recover money owed to my business?
Yes — see our debt recovery service, including the typical process and court fee scale on our fees page.
What if someone is pursuing a claim against me?
We can advise on your position and represent you in defending the claim.
What is a letter before action?
A formal letter sent to a debtor or defendant before starting court proceedings, giving them a final chance to pay or resolve the issue. It is usually a required step in civil litigation.
Can I set aside a CCJ?
If a County Court Judgment (CCJ) was issued against you without your knowledge, or you have a valid defence, you may be able to apply to have it set aside. We can advise on the grounds and process.
What does this cost?
See our fees page for typical debt recovery costs; other disputes are quoted individually once we understand your matter.
