Civil Litigation & Dispute Resolution.

When something is owed, disputed, or said about you in print, you need a solicitor on the file before the other side moves first. We act for individuals and businesses across England and Wales in high-value debt, commercial contract, reputation, and property matters. From the first letter to enforcement.

Areas of work

  1. 01

    High-value debt recovery

    Statutory demands, Part 7 claims, summary judgment, and enforcement against UK and overseas debtors. Recovering money owed to individuals and businesses.

  2. 02

    Breach of contract claims

    Commercial agreements, supply chain failure, and termination disputes. Remedies-focused drafting from the first letter onwards.

  3. 03

    Media law, reputation & defamation

    Pre-publication advice, libel and slander claims, harassment matters, and online reputation work. Privacy and data protection actions where they overlap.

  4. 04

    Professional discipline

    Acting for regulated professionals facing disciplinary proceedings before their regulator. Healthcare, legal, financial services, and education sector matters.

  5. 05

    Professional negligence

    Claims against solicitors, surveyors, accountants, and other professionals where the advice or service has fallen below the required standard.

  6. 06

    Landlord & tenant disputes

    Section 8 and Section 21 notices, court eviction proceedings, and rent arrears recovery. Advising both landlords and tenants. We also offer fixed-fee landlord and tenant courses (£450 + VAT).

  7. 07

    General business agreements

    Drafting, negotiating, and enforcing the agreements businesses rely on. Tailored to specific commercial needs rather than served from a template.

Fees

Costed in advance, in writing.

We work on hourly rates, fixed fees, or capped stages depending on the matter. Every instruction begins with a written client care letter setting out the scope of work, the fee basis, and an estimate or capped figure for the next phase. We do not begin chargeable work without it.

Where a matter expands beyond the scope agreed, we tell you before the work is done, not after the bill. VAT is charged at the prevailing UK rate. Disbursements (counsel, court fees, expert reports) are listed and invoiced as incurred.

A claim worth discussing?

Most matters begin with a 30-minute consultation. We will tell you what we think, what it is likely to cost, and whether we are the right firm for the work.
