    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.

    “Onboarding was simple as we did have a previous relationship with the specific lawyer. We found the advice to be thorough and pragmatic , never overstating our position to make us feel confident and aklways considering the potential opposing opsitions. Email and call response was speedy and, as much as you never want to pay a laywer's bill, we felt the advice was a 360 persepctive which allowed us to make informed decisions whe threatened with litigation. ”
