Local Knowledge Always Helps

Mr H was happily sat waiting for the traffic lights to change to green so he could continue on his way, when the next thing he knows there is a violent collision in front of him, resulting in one of those vehicles in turn being pushed at speed in to his car. This caused extensive […]

Mediation Works

Civil and Commercial mediation works. It solves disputes. It is quick. Inexpensive compared to traditional litigation. Easily accessible. And did we mention it is quick. Disputes happen, that is a fact of life. All day every day people have disagreements. Thankfully the vast majority of these are something and nothing. Soon sorted and forgotten. But […]

ADR – A Level Playing Field

One of the biggest problem many parties face in traditional court litigation is the cost.

It is an unfortunate reality that the party with the biggest resources can often simply […]

It is an easy way to keep in contact with friends and family, arrange things, tell people about your business, etc…..and most importantly share photographs of what you are having for tea ( it is what it was invented for!).

Are you Sure You Know Who You Are Talking To??

Scams are regrettably becoming more and more common, and it is important to be on your guard and take care. We unfortunately see more of this than many people, whether that is because we are advising people who have been caught out, or because fraudsters often try and target solicitors.
