Top 10 of 911 law firms for Contested Hearings, Litigation

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Contested hearings cover occasions when a dispute requires a court or tribunal to determine contested points of fact or law after pleadings have closed. In civil and commercial disputes, this usually means hearings on evidence, disclosure, interim relief, or procedural objections where the outcome directly affects the course of the case. A solicitor handles preparation for the hearing, drafts and settles statements of case and evidence, coordinates disclosure and expert reports, and appears to advocate on behalf of the client in the relevant court or tribunal. The work is shaped by the rules of court, evidential rules, and the timetable set by the judge or tribunal.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor manages the gathering and presentation of evidence, drafts and files witness statements and affidavits, handles expert reports, and navigates court timetables and procedural steps. They marshal arguments for and against interim orders, and coordinate with judges, clerks, and opposing counsel to secure a fair hearing while managing costs and risk around the court process.

I first met Sally Eastwood's Assistant / Secretary, then I met Sally herself. I noticed lots of good things during the advice I received, but especially the communication skills of both Ladies. Letters were sent, agreements made, and I ended up much better off for their troubles! I would definitely recommend this firm.

Penny Stevens-White

Tagged solicitor Penny Stevens-White

We were very happy with the service Penny Stevens-White provided, the only feedback I would add is that where specialism / advice was required from other departments in DG, that it would be helpful to be able to involve them in discussions early on. As an example, our sale needed a transfer of the freehold from our neighbour's to the new buyer, a process which I knew would be delayed due to the their lack of engagement in this matter, so it would have been helpful to address this with litigation's involvement from early onset to understand impact and options. It would have saved a few week's of stress and last minute phone calls to see what we could do to resolve.

Jennifer Renshaw

Tagged solicitor Jennifer Renshaw

Our issues were listened to carefully and sympathetically. Feedback was given immediately and followed up by a written summary. Explanations were clear and easy to follow for us as non-legal experts and gave us a clear way forward to solving the problems. We have used Lovedays Solicitors on two occasions and would not hesitate to recommend them and to use them again.

Kate Matthews

Tagged solicitor Kate Matthews

Working with Kate Matthews at Downs Solicitors has been an exceptional experience. Kate was instrumental in our litigation against some of the UK’s largest corporate entities, including NatWest and Amazon. Throughout these high-pressure disputes, she provided expert guidance while ensuring every milestone remained strictly on schedule. Kate has a rare talent for distilling complex legal jargon into clear, actionable strategy, which was the catalyst for reaching mediation and successful settlements quickly. Her commercial acumen and proactive communication turned a potentially overwhelming process into a manageable, successful outcome. We cannot recommend Kate and the Downs team highly enough.
