Solving your case with the most appropriate strategy
Lawyer Driven Negotiation
Our lawyers can negotiate on your behalf to help you and the other party reach an agreement. With thorough examination of facts and evidence, we can help you find a mutually beneficial solution as quickly as possible. We are always available to provide our services at short notice. If a settlement cannot be reached, we will represent you in court and do everything we can to achieve the best outcome for you.
Mediation
Mediators can act as neutral third parties to help you reach a resolution in your conflict. We organise mediation services for financial and family matters. Please note that it is now usually compulsory to confirm that mediation has been attempted or excused before issuing court proceedings.
Arbitration
Arbitration is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted to an arbitrator by agreement of both the parties. The resulting decision on the dispute is binding. We have links with specialist matrimonial chambers in London who offer a full arbitration service instead of proceeding to court or negotiating conventionally.
