UK representation / Civil disputes
A clear position.
A practical way forward.
A civil dispute can place your finances, plans and peace of mind under pressure. We help you understand the issues, organise the evidence and consider a proportionate route through a dispute in England and Wales.
Understand the dispute before escalating it
The starting point is what each party says happened, what the relevant agreement requires and the result you want to achieve. We discuss the strength of the available documents, gaps in the evidence and whether correspondence, negotiation or proceedings may be appropriate.
Defined support at each stage
Depending on the matter and an agreed engagement, support may include a chronology, review of correspondence, research, procedural drafting, case preparation and arrangements for representation. The court, stage of proceedings and applicable professional permissions determine who carries out each part of the work.
Know what your case will require
Bring the agreement or key correspondence, any claim form, defence or court order, the amount in dispute and all known deadlines. We discuss the next decision, the possible costs of continuing and the information needed for a more detailed assessment. Court fees, experts and ongoing representation are separate from the initial consultation.

Before you book
Your questions, considered.
Does this cover the whole UK?
This page focuses on England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different systems. Tell us where your matter arises so we can confirm the appropriate scope and any need for locally qualified assistance.
Will every dispute go to court?
No. Negotiation and other proportionate resolution options should be considered alongside proceedings. The appropriate course depends on the evidence, deadlines, costs and your objective.
Is representation included in the booking fee?
The one-hour fee covers the initial consultation. Any drafting, conduct of proceedings or attendance must be separately agreed and allocated to an appropriately authorised professional.
