Litigation: civil court proceedings

Solicitors here are strong in litigation, arbitration and other dispute resolution mechanisms. The firm has strength in depth in litigation in a large number of fields of activity, including company shareholder disputes, insurance, technology, internet, investments, insolvency, land, farming, building and construction, accountancy, banking, entertainment, sport, holiday claims and boundary disputes.

Solicitors here are experienced in and we have the resources to conduct litigation pursuing and defending causes of action in negligence, nuisance, libel, intellectual property, breach of contract and misrepresentation.

Our solicitors here can also advise on and take proceedings for judicial review of administrative decisions and causes of action such as misfeasance in public office.

Mediation

In mediation a neutral third party, the mediator, assists two or more parties in order to help them achieve an agreement on a matter in which they are in dispute.  Mediation is now widely recognised in the UK and Europe as the most popular form of alternative dispute resolution as it offers solutions beyond those that a court could ordinarily impose and can be used to settle disputes in a whole range of situations.

“To be a good mediator you must be a good listener. You have to listen to not only what is being said, but what is not said - which is often more important than what they say.” Kofi Annan

Mediation is a voluntary process and will only take place if both parties agree.  Both parties share the cost of mediation, which will depend on the value and complexity of the claim.  If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, they can still go to court, and anything discussed at the mediation is completely confidential.

Solicitors at Humphreys & Co are experienced in mediation, and find that clients benefit from being able to put their case forward at a more affordable price and without the uncertainty and stress of going to court.
