Dispute Resolution Solicitor FAQs.
- 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.
