Arbitration Solicitors
Arbitration is the key to settling disputes outside of court. As the claimant your party (you and the solicitors you instruct) act against the respondent. Both parties present cases to an arbitrator who is an independent person, outside of both parties. They will review both arguments with objectivity and cast a judgement on the case. Their decision is called an award.
We can be an agent for your side. We will help you with a defence strategy, tell you what evidence you ned to collect and put your argument together for the arbitrator. We are also happy attend meetings with you to help you answer any questions the arbitrator may have.
Litigation Solicitors
The Litigation process means a dispute has escalated to the courts where both sides of the case will be presented to a courtroom during a trial and appeal. Our solicitors are trained and experienced in cases of litigation and have supported many individuals resolving disputes that go as far as litigation.

Dispute Resolution FAQs
Once you have contacted a solicitor you can set up a meeting with them to discuss your dispute and the outcome you want. Your solicitor will then let you know the best way forward and draft up a letter to send to the other party’s solicitors requesting arbitration. You will be kept up-to-date throughout your case with a direct contact number for your solicitor. If arbitration fails we will then escalate the case if it needs to go to court.
Arbitration is one method to resolve a dispute without going to court. It involves choosing an arbitrator who will listen to both sides and decide on a resolution.
Mediation is another method of resolving a dispute without going to court which involves instructing a mediator to resolve a dispute. It is a flexible and confidential way to deal with disputes.
Litigation is the process of taking an issue to court. For disputes, if arbitration and mediation has failed, then the dispute will move to litigaton.
