Our contract dispute resolution services

Advice on the terms of a contract & your legal position

The first step in any contract dispute should be to make sure you are clear about your rights and obligations under the terms of the contract and how those relate to your dispute. Often contracts can be very complicated with significant room for confusion and ambiguity, which is often the reason for disputes.

Our contract lawyers can review your contract for you and give clear advice in plain English on the terms. We can then explain your legal position in relation to your dispute, your options for seeking a resolution and the likely outcome of different approaches.

Seeking an early resolution to your contract dispute

In most cases, contract disputes can be resolved swiftly and cost-effectively without the need for court proceedings. Our team can advise on options such as informal negotiations with the other party or parties involved, as well as assist with drafting a ‘letter before action’.

Whatever approach you decide to take, we can help you to set out your position, the outcome you are seeking and the actions you will take if a satisfactory outcome cannot be agreed. Often this is all that is required to prompt the other party or parties to seek an amicable resolution.

Taking a contract dispute to court

Should court proceedings be needed, we will advise you on how this works, the potential outcomes and the likely costs involved. We will always ensure that any course of action we suggest is in your best interests and the time, cost and stress involved does not outweigh the outcome you are seeking.

Our contract disputes solicitors can help you to prepare your care, make the necessary court applications and ensure you have the best possible representation for any hearings that take place. We will also provide close personal support for what can be a challenging process.
