Emma is a civil litigation solicitor, primarily specialising in professional negligence claims. She also represents residential and commercial landlords.
If you are involved in a civil law dispute where the value exceeds £10,000 (the current county court Small Claims Court threshold) then our civil dispute resolution team is likely to be able to help.
We can advise you on the appropriate way forward and devise a strategy to best achieve your goals, whether this is through negotiation, mediation or contested court proceedings.
Although much of our work is privately funded, we do represent some claimants on a No Win – No Fee basis where the circumstances allow. We would be happy to assess the suitability of your case if this is of interest to you and the value of the dispute exceeds the £25,000 court threshold.
We also operate an ‘Initial Fee Limit’ funding scheme. Starting at £550 + VAT, this allows you to engage our services on a limited basis to achieve a particular objective, while remaining in complete control of your budget.
In addition, we offer limited or ‘as required’ assistance where it may not be economic for solicitors to act for you throughout an entire dispute.
We pride ourselves on offering practical, cost-effective advice. We will create a case plan at the outset that is consistent with your budget and identify the strategy that’s most likely to achieve your desired objectives as quickly and economically as possible.
We will advise you on the benefits of negotiation, mediation and others forms of alternative dispute resolution. By adopting a proactive approach to settlement, a dispute can often be resolved at an early stage, without the expense and worry of court proceedings.
Where a negotiated settlement is not possible we will guide you through the court processes to bring your case to a resolution.
Throughout any dispute the emphasis is on achieving an outcome that is proportionate to the legal costs and the litigation risks involved.
