At TWM Solicitors, our expert Dispute Resolution team is able to advise and assist clients on a wide range of complex disputes.

We are one of the leading teams of professional Dispute Resolution solicitors in the South of England, consistently ranked and recommended in the leading legal directories, including The Legal 500 and Chambers for the quality of our service and knowledge.

FAQs

Below are some questions that we are frequently asked by clients who require advice on Dispute Resolution Law.

Disputes can encompass a huge range of different circumstances across different areas, whether personal or business related. “Dispute resolution” is simply an umbrella term to describe the way in which we, as specialist professional advisors, can help you to resolve those disputes with the aim of achieving the best possible outcome.

“Litigation” normally refers to disputes which have made their way to Court. These can also be called “claims”, “proceedings” or “lawsuits”. There are a number of different specialist Courts and Tribunals in the UK, including the County Court, High Court and various Tribunals.

This will depend on your dispute and is one of the first questions we will seek to answer for you. Any complex dispute is likely to require a solicitor and possibly other professional advisors. However, some lower value disputes may not justify the work of a solicitor including “small claims” which are valued at less than £10,000.

We will always assess your enquiry from the outset to ensure we have the necessary expertise to assist you and we explain more about our expertise as part of our web content. If we have the relevant expertise, then we will speak to you and explain what we believe we can do to help and how. That allows you to understand more about our role, expertise and character so you can decide whether to instruct us.

Yes – there are some areas we do not deal with including disputes relating to personal injury, clinical negligence and planning issues.

No, we do not advise in any criminal disputes including any dispute before the Magistrates or Crown Courts.
