Dispute Resolution

When legal problems occur in business you need balanced, realistic, actionable advice.

Often a speedy response is vital but most of our clients want a resolution to the dispute – not litigation.

Heald Solicitors provide a flexible approach to solve your dispute. As part of your team, we allow you to regain control of the situation and keep it that way. We identify the core problem and offer practical solutions that are right for your individual case.

Even The Best Commercial Relationships Can Go Wrong

Whatever your problem, we can draw together the right blend of expertise. This will include you, your staff and experts from relevant areas of our practice.

'Speak Softly And Carry A Big Stick'

Litigation is the heavyweight solution to a dispute. So before contemplating it, we look at the facts with you, and explain the law, the costs, your options and the risks involved. If we proceed, we identify any experts required, prepare a case plan and work with you to present this in the best way possible.

Mediation

At an early stage mediation can be a good option. It is informal, fast and can bring both parties to a consensual resolution of their problems. We are experienced in the appointment of mediators, preparing cases for negotiation and developing arguments during the mediation process.

We have an accredited commercial mediator in-house. Where we do not represent any of the parties, we can be appointed to help resolve disputes as neutral mediator.
