    Contentious matters covers disputes that are resolved through the courts or other formal tribunals, including commercial, civil and insolvency-related litigation. A solicitor practising in this area drafts pleadings, statements of case and court documents, instructs counsel, coordinates evidence, negotiates settlements, and represents the client at hearings and trials in the High Court, county courts, or relevant tribunals. It also involves case management, disclosure, and interlocutory applications that keep a dispute moving toward resolution.

    “I would like to take the time to say thank you to Emma Wheelhouse and Thompsons for their hard work over the years and successfully winning my civil case. It’s been a long journey for myself but Thompsons and Emma wheelhouse and others worked extremely hard to bring my case to a conclusion. I personally would recommend Thompsons solicitors because they are so experienced in what they do. Many thanks. Stephen.”
