Legal Advice & Mediation


Bringing or Defending a Claim in the United Kingdom

Are you concerned about the implications of a claim brought against you, or do you think you may have grounds to make a claim for compensation? In either event, the case may be more easily resolved than you thought.

Civil disputes can arise from many situations and can fall under almost all areas of UK law, involving individuals, companies, local authorities or Government departments.

Often these disputes are resolved under civil litigation, by which a court decides whether a wrongful action has been committed and what should be a fair consequence as compensation

There are also other ways to find a resolution for claims and disputes, called alternative dispute resolution, which do not involve the courts and are a more informal way of finding an agreement between the two parties.

Civil disputes usually fall into two categories:
Contractual Disputes, in which an agreement has been broken between two or more parties
A Civil Wrong, caused by one party to another, either deliberately or as a result of negligence

Contractual Disputes may only involve a relatively small amount of money, such as in the case of debt recovery or a claim relating to the purchase of defective goods. However, these claims can involve complicated commercial litigation and be more complex and drawn-out.

Civil Wrongs often entail claims for compensation for personal injury or damage to property or reputation.

We can advise you on your chances of success, and should you decide you want us to proceed with your claim, offer expert guidance through the procedure.
