Disputes & Court Claims.
Our Civil Disputes Solicitors expertly and strategically support individuals and businesses in resolving conflicts efficiently and effectively.
A dispute can quickly become overwhelming when your money, property, business or peace of mind is at risk.
Whether you are dealing with a breach of contract, property or boundary dispute, unpaid debts, a professional negligence issue, insurance disagreement, rental property problems or a dispute involving high-value goods, it can be difficult to know what to do next. You may be worried about costs, court proceedings, or whether taking action will make the situation worse. Clear legal advice at an early stage can help you understand your position and move forward with greater confidence.
At Lanyon Bowdler, our Civil Dispute Solicitors will take the time to listen, understand what matters most to you, and give you realistic advice about the strengths and weaknesses of your case. From your first conversation with us, you can expect practical guidance tailored to your circumstances, including clear advice on your options, likely outcomes, timescales and costs.
Where possible, we will aim to resolve your dispute without court proceedings, using negotiation, mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution to reduce stress, cost and disruption. If formal action is needed, our Civil Litigation Lawyers can guide you through the process, from preparing letters before action and court documents to managing evidence, deadlines, hearings and enforcement.
