Litigation and dispute resolution services

We handle a wide range of civil litigation cases, including but not limited to:

Civil litigation

Civil litigation refers to the legal process in which disputes between individuals, businesses, or organisations are resolved through the court system. Unlike criminal cases, which involve the government prosecuting individuals for breaking the law, civil litigation involves private parties seeking remedies or compensation for perceived wrongs.

When disputes escalate, we are prepared to represent you in court. Our experienced litigators will advocate for your rights and navigate the complexities of the legal system on your behalf.

Landlord & tenant disputes

Landlord and tenant disputes refer to conflicts or disagreements between property owners (landlords) and individuals or businesses renting or leasing the property (tenants). These disputes can arise from various issues, including non-payment of rent, lease violations, property maintenance concerns, eviction proceedings, or disagreements over terms outlined in the lease agreement. Resolving such disputes often involves legal processes, negotiations, and, in some cases, court intervention.

Contractual disputes

Contractual disputes involve disagreements or conflicts between parties arising from the terms, performance, or breach of a contractual agreement. These disputes can include issues such as failure to fulfil contractual obligations, disputes over contract interpretation, non-payment, or breaches of specific terms outlined in the contract. Resolving contractual disputes often requires legal analysis, negotiation, and, if necessary, legal action to enforce the terms or seek damages for breaches.

Debt recovery

Debt recovery is the process of pursuing and collecting outstanding debts from individuals or businesses who have not fulfilled their financial obligations. It typically involves communication, negotiation, and, if necessary, legal action to recover the owed funds. Debt recovery can be initiated by the original creditor or by a third-party debt collection agency hired to recover the outstanding amount.

Bankruptcy & insolvency

Bankruptcy and insolvency refer to financial situations where an individual or business is unable to meet its financial obligations and has insufficient assets to cover its debts. Bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals or businesses to seek relief from their debts, either through restructuring payment plans or liquidating assets to settle debts. Insolvency is a broader term encompassing financial distress, and bankruptcy is one possible outcome in the insolvency process.

Car purchase disputes

Car purchase disputes involve conflicts or disagreements between buyers and sellers related to the purchase of a vehicle. These disputes can arise from issues such as misrepresentation of the vehicle's condition, failure to disclose defects, disputes over warranties, or disagreements regarding the terms of the sale contract. Resolving car purchase disputes may involve negotiation, mediation, or legal action to address the concerns and seek a fair resolution for both parties.

Insurance claim dispute resolution

Insurance claim dispute resolution involves addressing conflicts or disagreements between policyholders and insurance companies regarding the processing, denial, or settlement of an insurance claim. Disputes can arise over coverage interpretation, claim valuation, delays in processing, or claim denials. Resolution methods may include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or, in extreme cases, litigation to determine the appropriate coverage and compensation.

Housing disrepair claims

Housing disrepair claims pertain to legal actions initiated by tenants against landlords or property owners due to the inadequate maintenance or repair of rented accommodations. These claims typically involve seeking compensation for damages, inconvenience, or health issues caused by the landlord's failure to address and rectify housing disrepairs, such as issues with structural integrity, plumbing, heating, or other essential aspects of the property.

Dilapidation claims

Dilapidation claims refer to legal actions typically initiated by landlords against tenants for the cost of repairs or restoration to a property at the end of a lease term. These claims arise when the leased premises have suffered damage or deterioration beyond normal wear and tear, and the tenant is held responsible for the restoration or compensation for the diminished value of the property. Dilapidation claims are common in commercial leases and occasionally in residential leases.
