    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 without reservation recommend Henry. Henry was very thorough, meticulous and generous with his time and fee billed, notwithstanding a somewhat lengthy and verbose Settlement Agreement. Henry also listens and addresses on point any specific concerns that you may have and is able to articulate salient points clearly and concisely. Instruct with confidence; thank you Henry. ”
