Practical, Strategic Solutions for Complex Disputes
At Greenwich Solicitors, we recognise that disputes, whether personal, commercial, or property-related, can be disruptive, stressful, and costly. Our specialist dispute resolution team provides clear, commercially focused advice to resolve conflicts efficiently and effectively.
We act for individuals, businesses, landlords, tenants, and investors across a wide range of contentious matters. Wherever possible, we prioritise early settlement through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Where litigation becomes necessary, we deliver robust representation in court to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome.
We have experience across civil, commercial, and property disputes, acting for individuals, businesses, landlords, and investors. Wherever possible, we seek settlement through negotiation or mediation, but where litigation is unavoidable, we provide strong representation in court.
Civil litigation is the legal process of resolving disputes between individuals or organisations in court. Unlike criminal proceedings, civil cases are primarily concerned with personal rights, financial loss, and contractual obligations.
We act in a wide range of disputes, including:
- ⇢ Breach of contract
- ⇢ Negligence and professional liability
- ⇢ Property and building disputes
- ⇢ Intellectual property disputes
- ⇢ Debt recovery and enforcement of judgments
- ⇢ Contested wills, probate, and estate litigation
- ⇢ Employment and partnership disputes
- ⇢ Neighbour and boundary conflicts
The Civil Litigation Process
- Exploring Resolution First
Before commencing court action, it is often beneficial to attempt settlement through negotiation or ADR, such as:
- ⇢ Roundtable negotiation
- ⇢ Mediation
- ⇢ Conciliation
- ⇢ Arbitration
Our lawyers are experienced in using these methods to achieve swift and cost-effective resolutions, avoiding the time and expense of litigation where possible.
- Commencing Court Proceedings
Where settlement cannot be achieved, we provide end-to-end litigation support, including:
- ⇢ Drafting and filing claims and defences
- ⇢ Preparing witness statements and expert evidence
- ⇢ Attending preliminary and case management hearings
- ⇢ Managing disclosure and discovery of documents
- ⇢ Representation at trial and enforcement of judgments
Litigation can be complex and demanding; our solicitors ensure every stage is handled with precision and care.
Unpaid debts can damage both cash flow and business stability. We provide a proactive debt recovery service, acting swiftly to pursue outstanding sums through:
- ⇢ Pre-action correspondence and statutory demands
- ⇢ County Court or High Court proceedings
- ⇢ Enforcement action, including charging orders and winding-up petitions
Our goal is to recover debts quickly, with minimum disruption to your operations.
Residential
We represent both landlords and tenants in residential property disputes, offering guidance and representation in matters such as:
- ⇢ Rent arrears and recovery of possession
- ⇢ Eviction proceedings
- ⇢ Service charge disputes
- ⇢ Property damage claims
- ⇢ Enforcement of tenancy agreements
Our team ensures that your rights are protected and that enforcement actions are carried out effectively, while always aiming for proportionate and practical solutions.
Commercial
Commercial property disputes often carry significant financial and operational impact. We act for landlords, tenants, and property managers in disputes involving:
- ⇢ Lease interpretation and enforcement
- ⇢ Rent arrears and rent reviews
- ⇢ Breach of covenant and forfeiture proceedings
- ⇢ Dilapidations and repair obligations
- ⇢ Renewal or termination of commercial leases
What If a Dispute Arises?
Not all disagreements need to end up in court. Our solicitors assist clients in understanding their contractual obligations and available options, which may include:
- ⇢ Commercial negotiation and correspondence
- ⇢ Structured mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
- ⇢ Injunctions, forfeiture claims, or rent recovery
- ⇢ Litigation, where necessary
Our approach is always strategic and proportionate, with the goal of resolving disputes quickly and cost-effectively so that you can focus on your core business.
