Our dispute involves technical specification arguments — do you handle that?

Yes. We'll work alongside the right technical expert from the start — getting the expert position and the legal position lined up early is often what unlocks settlement.

We've just received a letter before action — what should we do?

Get advice quickly. The window for shaping the response is usually short, and a well-handled early reply often determines whether the matter escalates or quietly resolves. We can review the position and respond strategically within days.

Is litigation always the last resort?

For most commercial matters, yes. The cost, time and management distraction of court proceedings means settlement, mediation or structured negotiation usually serve the business better — but we keep formal options preserved throughout.

How do you charge for dispute work?

We use a transparent hourly rate with regular cost updates, and where appropriate we'll agree a budget or fee cap for each phase of work. We don't run up costs without your sign-off.
