Hugh James property dispute resolution service

The Property Dispute Resolution Team's reputation as leading experts in this field is based on an in-depth understanding of property and business as well as the law, and our pragmatic approach to resolving property problems.


Our approach

Chess pieceWe offer a broad range of property dispute resolution skills. We do not see litigation as an automatic option. We believe that property disputes encompass planning and strategy to avoid problems arising as well as finding solutions once they have arisen. We carry out a legal case assessment centred on practical analysis and pragmatic, cost-effective advice, not lawyer's jargon.

Then we take quick, incisive action on your behalf as appropriate. We aim to sort out problems before they get anywhere near a court. We are experts in negotiation and mediation, but if litigation has to happen, no one has a better team to fight your corner.

Our aim is to provide a fast and economic solution to your commercial property problems, enabling you to focus on achieving your business objectives without spending time and money in court.
