Disputes

We get disputes resolved.

Why choose HGG Law for helping resolve disputes

Disputes can be both stressful and overwhelming. Facing issues such as a personal conflict, a debt disagreement or a social media dispute (such as defamation or harassment) can be isolating – but we’re here to support you.

We have years of experience in resolution for all natures of disputes, and we pride ourselves on delivering tailored solutions that suit your individual case and circumstances.

We act for both claimants (when you or your business have been wronged), and for defendants (when you or your business are accused of wrong). In either case, the law is often complex and confusing, making it even harder to reach an appropriate resolution. We are here to offer you advice in plain language and come up with a tailored plan.

Personal consultation

Every dispute is unique, and our initial consultation is designed to listen to your concerns and fully understand the nuances of your situation. Taking the extra time to assess the specifics of your case allows us to develop a strategy that not only addresses your immediate needs but also considers your long-term objectives.

Our offering for resolving disputes

1. Early Advice

We are experts at identifying when you (or your business) are exposed in the case of your dispute and can advise on ways to minimise this to pursue your objectives. We always prefer to get involved sooner rather than later; it is often the most cost effective too.

2. Mediation & Negotiation

Mediation can often be an effective means of resolving estate disputes amicably. We can facilitate open dialogue between parties, aiming to reach a resolution that satisfies everyone involved. Mediation is an voluntary process so, while it is often beneficial, it is not always guaranteed to progress a claim effectively.

This method not only helps to preserve family relationships but also saves time and costs compared to traditional litigation, allowing you to move forward quicker and with less financial commitment in resolving your dispute.

3. Litigation

If a resolution cannot be reached through mediation, our experienced litigators are prepared to represent you in court. However, the procedural steps in litigation can be as confusing as the law itself – applications, defences, summons, disclosure, expert evidence. Our experience in a wide range of claims means we know all the appropriate tactics to ensure your case is progressed properly.

Timescales for Litigation

The length of time a matter takes to conclude varies dramatically. The usual stages are as follows:

  • an initial review of the matter (within 2 weeks)
  • initial correspondence with opponent (within 2 weeks, response varies)
  • further correspondence (dependant on nature and response times)
  • issuing claim (within 6 weeks)
  • Court timetable (various depending on claim – we will provide detailed advice in advance).

Once the Court sets a timetable, it will also set a window of dates during which the hearing will occur. From experience, this can be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the nature of the claim; the majority take around 12 months.
