Specialist Litigation Services in Harrow

Our litigation team acts for individuals and businesses across the full range of civil and commercial disputes.

Civil Litigation

Disputes between individuals — money owed, broken agreements, damage to property, and other claims that need resolving formally.

Commercial Litigation

Disputes between businesses, with suppliers or customers, and between shareholders or partners. Resolved with the commercial relationship in mind.

Debt Recovery

Recovering unpaid invoices and money owed to you or your business, from the first demand letter through to enforcing a judgment.

Contract Disputes

Where one side has not done what was agreed — whether that is paying, delivering, or performing work to the standard required.

Professional Negligence

Claims against accountants, surveyors, financial advisers, and other professionals whose advice or work fell below the standard expected.

Property Litigation

Disputes over land and buildings, including ownership, rights of way, and disagreements between landlords and tenants that have reached court.

How It Works

How a Dispute Is Resolved — Step by Step

Most disputes follow the same stages, and the large majority settle well before a hearing.

1

Free Consultation

We look at what has happened and the documents you have, and give you an honest view of where you stand.

2

Letter Before Claim

We set out your position formally to the other side and give them the opportunity to respond before anything is issued.

3

Negotiation

We work towards a settlement through correspondence, meetings, or mediation. Most matters are resolved here.

4

Court Proceedings

Where settlement is not possible, we issue the claim or defend it, and prepare the evidence needed to support your case.

5

Judgment & Recovery

Once a decision is made, we advise on the next steps — including recovering what you have been awarded.

Before You Start

Is It Worth Pursuing?

This is the first question we answer, and the most important one. Being in the right is not always enough on its own. What matters is whether the claim can be proved, whether the other side is able to pay, and whether the likely outcome justifies the time involved.

Sometimes the honest answer is that a strongly worded letter will resolve things. Sometimes it is that the dispute is worth pursuing all the way. Occasionally it is that the sensible course is to walk away. We would rather tell you that at the first meeting than months later.

Get an Honest View

Time Limits Apply

Most claims must be brought within a set period, and once that passes the right to claim can be lost entirely. If a dispute has been rumbling on, take advice sooner rather than later.

Keep Your Evidence

Contracts, emails, invoices, messages, and photographs all matter. Keep everything, and do not delete anything that relates to the dispute.

Can They Pay?

Winning a case is only worthwhile if the other side can pay what is awarded. We look at this early so you are not pursuing a judgment that cannot be recovered.

Settlement Is Usual

The large majority of disputes settle before a hearing. A realistic offer made at the right time often achieves a better result than a trial.

Common Questions

Litigation FAQs

Usually not. The large majority of disputes are settled through correspondence, negotiation, or mediation without ever reaching a hearing. Even once court proceedings have started, most cases settle before trial. We always look for the quickest sensible route to resolving matters, and court is the last resort rather than the starting point.
It depends on the size and complexity of the dispute and on how the other side responds. Many matters are resolved within a few weeks once a formal letter is sent. Where proceedings are issued, a straightforward claim may take several months, and a more complex one considerably longer. We will give you a realistic estimate once we understand what is involved.
Yes. Most claims must be brought within a set number of years, and the period varies depending on the type of claim. Once it has passed, the right to claim can be lost altogether, however strong the case. If a dispute has been going on for some time, it is worth taking advice promptly so you do not run out of time.
Do not ignore it. There are strict deadlines for responding, and if you miss them a judgment can be entered against you without the case being heard. Bring the paperwork in as soon as you receive it and we will advise on your position, the deadline you are working to, and how best to respond.
There are several ways to enforce a judgment, depending on the other side's circumstances — including recovering money from their bank account, their wages, or their property. We advise on which route is most likely to succeed. We also consider this at the outset, because a judgment is only worth having if it can be recovered.
Yes. Our office on Kenton Road, Harrow is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm. We welcome walk-in enquiries and can arrange appointments at a time that suits you. Bring any documents relating to the dispute. Telephone and video consultations are also available.
