Dispute Resolution

In business, no one sets out to enter a dispute, and ideally a disagreement should be resolved at an early stage in order to ensure that a fruitful business relationship can continue.

However, sometimes there is a need to bring in an external party, such as Woodfords Solicitors, to provide clarity regarding your legal position and ensure that your rights are upheld.

We are experienced in representing both claimants and defendants throughout Fulham, Chelsea, Putney and Hammersmith. We are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their objectives in satisfactorily resolving disputes, whether through the Courts, alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediation or through negotiation.

We advise on a wide range of disputes, but the majority fall within three common categories:

Debt recovery claims

Where you have a problem debtor we can assist you to obtain a judgment and then advise on various options for enforcement to enable you to obtain payment as swiftly as possible.

Contractual/commercial disputes

Unfortunately a handshake is no longer enough as a basis for doing business, especially when problems arise. Our experience in dealing with contractual and commercial disputes means we can advise on the best way of achieving a commercially satisfactory outcome to your dispute.

We also handle many disputes where businesses have terms and conditions that have not been tailored to their business or updated for some time. For advice on updating your terms and conditions, please see our Business Law department.

Property disputes

As commercial property specialists, we have particular strength in resolving property development and construction disputes, where contractual problems often arise.

Disputes arise between landlords and tenants and we advise both sides over issues such as dilapidations or service charges and the renewal of commercial leases.

At Woodfords Solicitors, we employ our negotiating expertise and commercial awareness together with our litigation experience to ensure we offer you a balanced and considered view of your case and help you find a commercial solution.
