Commercial Dispute Litigation

When faced with a complicated High Court claim / counter claim litigation we turned to Forbes. We were new to this situation and to be honest very worried about it. Paul's calm and unflappable style is just what we needed to keep us focussed on getting a good outcome. Paul guided us through the various stages right up to and including mediation where the matter was resolved to our satisfaction. Paul was very client focussed and when the going got tough he maintains a dogged determination to keep us moving forward. Paul kept us on track to resolve the matter ASAP without the risk and stress of a court case. You don't realise the toll legal proceedings can take on you until wake up one morning and they have gone away. So thank you to Paul and the team at Forbes for your wisdom, guidance , patience and the outcome.

Very friendly and helpful and you get more clear understanding of your case and they give you advices about how you can pursuit your case on your own if you choose to do it on your own or due to financial difficulties.,Ect. And that's good because many firms don't don't give the advices about how to fight your own case by your own due to some circumstances and all that just so that you can keeping coming to them. And I thanks Solicitors for their advices.

Court summons for non compliance.

I contacted Forbes for help with a speeding fine notice. Papers which were filled in and returned to the police were never received by them. This resulted in court proceedings being issued to myself. I was not the driver but the owner of the car. I met Mr Ian Dunbar who was extremely helpful and explained to me the court procedure making me feel a lot less anxious about the whole situation. On arriving in court I met Mr Simon Gretton who was also very reassuring.

Witnessing and certifying documents

I needed a legal document signature to be quickly witnessed and certified. I rang up Forbes in Blackburn, who said I could come in same day. Lisa sorted it out for me quickly and without fuss. Most solicitors are pre-occupied with their hourly charge rate. Forbes Blackburn are interested in helping their customers. Thanks...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From start to finish, the service I received was professional, efficient, and reassuring. A special thank you to Simon and Ian, who were both knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to take the time to explain everything clearly throughout the process. What really stood out was the level of communication and attention to detail. Every query was dealt with promptly, and I always felt informed and supported. It’s clear that Forbes Solicitors have built an excellent team, as every member of staff I dealt with was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for their clients. If you’re looking for experienced solicitors, legal advice, conveyancing services, dispute resolution, employment law support, personal injury claims, family law assistance, or general legal services, I would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes Solicitors. Their professionalism, expertise, and client-focused approach make them one of the best law firms I have dealt with. Thank you again to Simon, Ian, and the entire Forbes team for your outstanding service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My company had some problems getting paid off of a client for some subcontracting works done at Christmas time. I spoke with Michael Swan at Forbes on the phone and after a small fee he had written up the legal document to ensure the client paid within a set time frame… the letter never even made the mail box. 4 and a half hours later they had settled the invoice in full on the same day after nearly 4 months of myself requesting payment. 100% recommend if you are having problems with payments then Michael is the man to speak too. What an amazing results after being owed thousands for nearly 4 months.

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We’re delighted Michael was able to help resolve the matter so quickly and achieve a positive outcome for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Forbes Solicitors, and we wish you and your business all the very best moving forward.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Simon Gretton, a partner in the crime department, who oversaw my case from the outset. Even though the situation was incredibly difficult and, realistically, the prospects were limited, Simon approached everything with professionalism, honesty, and a calm, steady confidence that I found hugely reassuring. Throughout the process, Simon was clear, direct, and transparent about what I could expect, while still doing everything possible to steer the case toward the best achievable outcome. His experience was evident in the way he assessed the situation, guided me through each stage, and ensured every detail was carefully considered. What made an especially meaningful difference was the way Simon used his dry, well timed humour to lift my spirits during some very dark and stressful moments. Those moments of lightness helped me stay grounded and reminded me I wasn’t going through it alone — something I genuinely appreciated more than I can express. After months of uncertainty, having someone with Simon’s expertise, candour, and human touch managing my case made a significant difference. I felt listened to, supported, and properly represented at every stage. I am truly grateful for his time, commitment, and guidance. I would not hesitate to recommend Simon Gretton to anyone in need of experienced, straightforward, and highly capable legal representation.

It’s been a long journey with Leonie (Forbes), but one with a successful outcome. Throughout that time Leonie has been professional, thorough and ensured I was fully informed. Due to the nature of the case, it has been difficult but Leonie has always been sensitive and compassionate. At every step of the process I have felt informed and aware of what was happening and the next steps. Leonie has helped guide me and support me throughout the case.
