Frequently Asked Questions
A dispute resolution solicitor guides you through all stages of resolving disagreements — from negotiation, mediation or arbitration (collectively known as “alternative dispute resolution”) through to issuing court proceedings if necessary. The goal is to protect your interests, minimise cost and risk, and seek a satisfactory outcome.
The first step is a strategy session with your solicitor to assess your case, the strength of your position, and your objectives. They will typically issue a “letter before claim” to the other side, invite settlement discussions or ADR (mediation/arbitration), and only if that fails will they bring court proceedings. The right legal advice early can significantly reduce cost, time and damage to your business.
ADR refers to processes such as mediation, arbitration or expert determination that resolve disputes outside full court hearings. These tend to be more cost-effective, faster, more flexible and confidential. A dispute resolution law firm will advise whether ADR is appropriate in your circumstances and, if so, manage the process on your behalf.
Costs vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the matter, the value of the claim, whether ADR is used, and how far the proceedings go. At the outset your solicitor should provide a cost-estimate or funding options (including whether you might recover costs from the other side).
You should seek legal advice if the dispute involves complex contracts, high value claims, potential liabilities, or where time and procedural rules apply (e.g., a business dispute, shareholder/director conflict). Attempting to act alone may expose you to risk of costs orders or losing your rights.
These firms typically deal with: contract disputes (e.g., breach of contract), commercial lease or property litigation, shareholder or director disputes, unpaid invoices and debt recovery, injunctions, and other business-related conflicts.
Yes. Our firm services Essex, London and Cornwall (and the wider UK) so whether you search “dispute resolution solicitors” or “dispute resolution lawyer near me”, you can book an initial consultation with our team. We’ll discuss your case locally and arrange the best pathway forward.
Cost liability depends on your case’s track and whether a costs order is made. In commercial cases, generally the unsuccessful party pays the winner’s costs, but this is not automatic. Your solicitor will advise on the risks and exposure at the outset.
It depends on the nature and complexity of the dispute, whether ADR is successful, how cooperative the parties are, and whether court proceedings are needed. Some disputes can be settled in a matter of weeks; others, particularly large commercial cases, may take many months.
Bring all relevant contracts, correspondence, emails, invoices, internal records and notes of key events. Being organised helps your solicitor assess the merits of your case and advise realistically on strategy and next steps.
