    Contract Dispute

    We instructed Stephen McArdle in the Commercial Litigation team to represent us in a contractual dispute. They dealt with the other side effectively and managed to recover compensation for us as a result of a breach of contract. Our experience of the commercial litigation team was excellent - they were very professional throughout and explained the legal position and advice clearly. We would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes solicitors.

    My recent experience

    We found Forbes Solicitors very professional, who offered clear first class advice. We would definitely recommend them as they were very easy to deal with and understand. They have a wealth of knowledge on all matters and are great at communicating, especially with the designated Solicitor. We would definitely use them again.

    Client Review

    Stephen and the wider Forbes team have been a trusted source of legal advice and support throughout our dealings. They consistently provide clear, practical and commercially focused guidance, combining strong technical expertise with an ability to explain complex matters in a straightforward and accessible way. What particularly distinguishes Stephen is his ability to provide balanced, pragmatic advice whilst remaining approachable and responsive throughout the process. He takes the time to understand the wider context and objectives behind each matter, ensuring that his guidance is not only legally sound but also practical and aligned to business needs. His professionalism, attention to detail and calm, measured approach inspire confidence, even when dealing with more complex issues. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen and Forbes to any business or individual seeking high-quality legal support from a team that is both highly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

    NDA Claim - Response

    We contacted Stephen at Forbes Solicitors for support with a letter received from a previous associate claiming that we had broken an Non Disclosure agreement which was a clearly false claim. Stephen provided us with high level professional advise on a number of options available to us in response. Stephen was available for discussion around the merits of each option and along with his colleagues provided excellent client care to agree suitable action. Stephen then provided a full response to this claim which robustly represented us in clear correspondence with our opponents. I would not hesitate in using Stephen and Forbes Solicitors again or recommending them to others to confidently provide advice and support at the required level.
