Frequently asked questions: Dispute resolution
What methods are available for resolving disputes without court involvement?
Alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, arbitration and negotiation are frequently used to amicably and efficiently settle matters without resorting to litigation, saving both time and money.
How long does dispute resolution typically take?
The duration of dispute resolution varies depending on complexity, method of resolution chosen, and willingness of parties to reach an agreement. Mediation or settlement discussions could conclude within weeks or months, whereas more complicated disputes proceeding to court could extend to several months or even longer.
Can you help if my dispute involves property boundaries?
Yes, we have extensive experience dealing with property boundary disputes. Our specialists can help investigate boundaries, advise on your legal position, and explore negotiated or mediated outcomes to achieve timely and cost-effective resolutions.
Do you deal with inheritance and contested probate disputes?
Absolutely. We regularly assist individuals involved in inheritance and probate disputes, providing sensitive yet assertive support to protect your interests, clarify entitlements, and reach fair outcomes either through negotiation or litigation where necessary.
What is professional negligence and when can I claim?
Professional negligence occurs when a qualified professional—such as a financial adviser, accountant, surveyor or medical practitioner—fails to deliver services at an appropriate standard, resulting in loss or damage. If you’ve suffered a financial or personal loss due to professional negligence, we can advise you on your eligibility to claim compensation.
