Frequently Asked Questions
Do all disputes go to court?
No. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation or settlement before trial. We always aim to resolve matters quickly and cost-effectively.
Can I recover my legal costs?
In civil litigation, the general rule is that the losing party pays the winner’s reasonable legal costs - but this depends on the court’s decision and settlement terms.
What is the time limit for making a claim?
Time limits vary. For most contract or negligence claims, you have six years from the date of breach. In probate or inheritance cases, the time limits can be shorter - contact us as soon as possible.
Can you act for both parties in a dispute?
No. We represent one party to avoid any conflict of interest. If both parties need legal advice, we may recommend another firm.
Do you offer fixed-fee or capped-fee litigation?
In some cases, yes - especially for pre-action work, letters before claim or settlement advice. We’ll explain your options clearly during your initial consultation.
