We recommend to consider litigation as an option of last resort.
It is common knowledge that legal proceedings are often time consuming and notoriously expensive, so a decision to issue a claim form should never been taken lightly.
We are often able to review your case for an initial fixed-fee and, where necessary, we can refer your case to a solicitor who specialises in contentious matters and civil/commercial litigation.
We always seek alternative solutions such as arbitration and mediation rather than court action to minimise both cost and the stress to our clients. Each case is approached with a clear idea of the clients' objectives, having assessed their position and strategy to achieve their intended goal.
We also offer an
in-house mediation service whereby both parties to a potential dispute are invited to attend to an informal meeting chaired by a GayLawyers representative, with the aim of either narrowing down the issues in contention or resolve the dispute altogether. Where necessary, we can instruct a qualified mediator to chair the hearing, and this would normally cost in the region of £750 - £1000 per day.
If legal proceedings are unavoidable, we would recommend to a specialist litigation lawyers with robust negotiating skills.
