"Excellent lawyers with a practical outlook" - Legal 500, 2021

We understand how difficult it is to pursue matters through the courts, through arbitration or other tribunals and you can trust us to advise you on the best course of action towards the most positive outcome.

Our Dispute Resolution team of solicitors is led by our Partner James Johnston (a mediator fully accredited by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) and offers a rare trinity of specialisms with James an authority on professional negligence, Johnny Coulthard an expert on contested wills, trust and probate.

We will work with you to consider all possible means of avoiding litigation and wherever we can, will aim to bring proceedings to a conclusion as quickly as possible for you, ideally out of court. We are enthusiastic supporters of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and where we can, will work to support you in resolving the dispute yourself. This can be particularly appropriate in small claims, where the cost of retaining a solicitor for the whole case may outweigh the amount in issue.

Whatever your dispute, we are happy to provide you with preliminary advice, advice during a case, or can conduct the case on your behalf.

We have specialists across our other departments who can help with you with any other types of dispute, including employment, family, personal injury and medical negligence.

Just get in touch and we can put you in touch with the best person to help you.
