Dispute resolution services

We offer advice and guidance in relation to a narrow range of property-related disputes including service charges, management problems, neighbourly disagreements and regulatory compliance.

Why we are different

We act for a small number of select clients. This enables us to provide those clients with a proper standard of service.

Our multi-disciplinary skill set means we are uniquely placed to resolve disputes from both practical and legal perspectives, which often enables us to deliver innovative solutions.

Our dispute resolution services are fully integrated with our management and surveying services which means that, in many cases, we are a one-stop shop, which drastically reduces the time requirements from decision makers.

We act for a small number of select clients and are uniquely placed to deliver sound, practical and innovative solutions.
