If you need sound advice on a general dispute that has arisen, we have solicitors at hand who can advise you how to deal with the dispute in a cost-effective and timely manner.

What is a ‘general dispute’?
Disputes fall broadly into two categories. Either the dispute is based on a contract being incorrectly performed or the dispute is based on a civil wrong caused by one party to another either deliberately or negligently.

Common examples of ‘general disputes’ are as follows;

• Contract disputes         
• Debt actions
• Partnership disputes
• Negligence and breach of statutory duty
• Landlord and tenant disputes (residential and commercial)
• Injunctions

Our solicitors can advise at an early stage of the dispute as to your prospects of success and the possible value of your claim.

We recognise the importance of focusing on actually bringing a resolution to the dispute.  Often, the sensible action is to avoid lengthy and costly litigation and our solicitors are well placed to advise our clients about the various Alternative Dispute Resolution avenues, which may be available.  Often this process involves negotiation with the other party.  Our solicitors will negotiate on your behalf.

If the dispute eventually leads to litigation then Kerwoods can advise you throughout the case, ensuring that your best interests are protected and that the risks are explained to you at each step of the way.

At the end of your case, we will advise you on the most effective method of enforcement, to ensure that any proceedings have been commercially worthwhile.
