Dispute Resolution

Excellent representation that changed the course of our dispute

I would highly recommend Lisa. She took over what had become a difficult and unnecessarily contentious commercial lease dispute after we decided to change solicitors, and the difference in approach was immediately apparent. The other side had adopted an increasingly adversarial approach which, at times, seemed more focused on mud-slinging and applying pressure than finding a sensible resolution. Lisa was excellent at cutting through the noise, keeping the focus firmly on the facts and legal issues that actually mattered, and recalibrating the balance between the parties. She was measured and pragmatic when that was required, but equally prepared to be firm when the circumstances called for it. The matter ultimately settled out of court on terms that I am confident were considerably better than we would have achieved had we continued with our previous representation.

“Brilliant Solicitor Who Delivered a Winning Result – She Absolutely Delivered!”

I can’t recommend my solicitor highly enough. From the very first meeting, she took full control of my case with clear advice, professionalism, and genuine care. She worked tirelessly, kept me updated every step of the way, and fought hard on my behalf. Thanks to her expertise and determination, we achieved a complete win. She made a stressful situation manageable and ultimately turned it into a success. If you need someone you can truly trust to get results, look no further. Outstanding service and a fantastic outcome. Thank you!

Excellent legal guidance and support

Navigating the legal system can be an extremely daunting process, but from my very first phone call with Joanne, I felt like I was in safe hands. Joanne helped me understand the process and exactly what was required from me at every stage, which made me feel not only supported but also more confident. She is knowledgeable, patient, professional and personable and provides an exemplary service. I highly recommend working with her.

Friendly and Professional Service

Having been dissatisfied with the progress being made by my previous solicitor, I reached out to Rebecca Lang for advice and she was fantastic, approachable and professional, so I transferred my case across to her and am so glad that I did so! Rebecca made this challenging time somewhat easier for me to get through, and I am grateful for the help and advice she gave along the way.

Exceeded my Expectations

I would like to formally express my sincere appreciation to Anthony Le for his exceptional support, professionalism and unwavering commitment throughout the handling of a highly challenging and ethically complex litigation matter involving one of our clients. I first engaged with Anthony in August 2023 to discuss concerns relating to a long standing dispute with one of our blue chip clients in Manchester. This matter has spanned approximately two and a half years with extensive correspondence and escalating uncertainty. The situation had become increasingly overwhelming and the prospect of litigation was both daunting and emotionally taxing. From the outset Anthony demonstrated a clear structured and highly professional approach. He provided transparent guidance and the appropriate steps to taken ensuring that I fully understood the legal position and the strategic considerations at each stage. His calm measured manner and ability to simplify complex issues brought much needed clarity during a period of significant pressure. Over the course of more than 30 months of back and forth communication with the opposing party the process naturally became exhausting. However, Anthony’s consistent support, expertise and steady leadership made the situation manageable, allowing me to navigate each development with confidence. Ultimately, with Anthony’s guidance CSR was able to reach an out of court settlement that represented a fair and mutually beneficial outcome. This resolution not only protected our position but also brought closure to a matter that had been ongoing for far too long. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Anthony for his dedication, patience and professionalism throughout this journey. As he advised from the very beginning the process would be challenging for all involved, yet his reassurance and expertise gave me the confidence to weather the storm and approach each day with renewed perspective. On behalf of everyone at CSR we would like to thank you once again. I personally will remain in contact and we / I wish Anthony Le every success in his continued career. Thank you so much

We’re delighted to hear that Anthony Le was able to provide exceptional support, professionalism, and clear guidance throughout what was clearly a complex and challenging matter. It’s wonderful to know that his structured approach, transparency, and ability to explain each stage of the process helped bring clarity and reassurance during a prolonged and demanding period. We’re also pleased that, with his support, a fair and mutually beneficial out-of-court settlement was achieved, bringing much-needed resolution to the situation. Your kind words regarding Anthony’s dedication, patience, and steady leadership are greatly appreciated, and we will be sure to pass on your thanks and best wishes.

Slater Heelis quoted around £800 for a neighbourhood dispute letter! He claimed they need to charge these sorts of fees to open a case and quipped we're not a forwarding service. The letter was in my grammar! Not exactly nuclear physics for Slater H! Quickly got an SRA solicitor to do the job for £400, in Trafford, expeditiously.
