At some time in your lives you may become involved in a dispute and at Hains & Lewis we appreciate how worrying a time this can be for you. Our dispute resolution solicitors aim to provide help, understanding and support throughout. We tackle disputes with vigour, original thinking and a sound knowledge of the law. Our aim is to protect you, your business and your reputation with minimum fuss and expense.
Landlord and Tenant
We advise on the whole range of landlord and tenant disputes (non-payment of rent, breaches of covenants against e.g. subletting or assignment, dilapidations, unreasonable withholding of consents, claims for possession of premises and so on). Our property dispute solicitors can provide clear advice on the law and its commercial context, working closely with our team dealing with buying and selling property where required.
Personal Injury
We understand that pursuing a personal injury compensation claim can be stressful at what can be already a difficult time. We offer a personal and professional service designed to make the process less traumatic for you.
Our personal injury expertise covers injury claims involving accidents at work, on someone else’s property, road traffic accidents and injuries caused by defective products. We are particularly experienced at claims arising from serious or fatal accidents or those involving catastrophic injuries.
We are always interested to consider new claims and we do so without any obligation on your part. In suitable cases, we will offer to act on a conditional fee basis (sometimes called "no win, no fee").
Wills Trusts and Probate
We have experience in dealing with a great variety of disputes which occur in relation to personal assets - whether during or after life. These include:
- Challenges to the validity of a will
- The effect of undue influence
- Disputes arising from homemade wills
- Advising vulnerable people making wills
- Issues arising from the administration of trusts and estates
- Disputes between trustees, beneficiaries and others
- Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
Our civil litigation solicitors have developed a number of ways of resolving such disputes. Whichever approach is taken, we will work with you to achieve a cost-effective outcome that is to your advantage. For related matters, you can also view our wills & estate administration services.
Money and debts
If you are struggling with debt, do not despair. We can help you. You may have a number of different options and bankruptcy could be one of them. However, bankruptcy is not the only option. Our civil litigation solicitors will discuss with you the extent of your debts and provide you with information about the options available.
Resolving Disputes
Wherever possible, we aim to resolve disputes without the need for court proceedings. Our dispute resolution solicitors will consider all available options, including negotiation and mediation, to achieve a practical and cost-effective outcome. Where court action is necessary, we will guide you through each stage of the process and ensure that your position is clearly presented. Where disputes arise in relation to family law matters or wider personal issues, we will ensure that all aspects are properly considered.
Boundary & neighbour disputes
Disputes between neighbours are frequently different from other types of disputes. They are, by their very definition, closer to home and so more intrusive into one’s personal life. Despite the personal feelings involved in this type of conflict, we provide pragmatic and practical advice whilst always seeking to achieve an outcome which is both realistic and financially proportionate.
Where appropriate, we will look to resolve matters through negotiation, including round table meetings or mediation, in order to reach an early settlement. These matters are often closely linked to wider buying and selling property issues.
