Dispute Resolution
Expert legal advice from trusted dispute resolution specialists
Legal disputes can be a source of stress and worry for individuals and companies. At Rudlings, we’re well aware of the financial and personal impacts these issues can have.
Ready to listen, however complex your case
Experienced across general civil and commercial litigation, including employment (contentious and non-contentious), personal injury, and clinical negligence issues, our solicitors represent both claimants and defendants.
We provide a comprehensive, efficient service for all clients involved in litigation, and we utilise where possible various forms of ADR to secure the best outcome for them.
How our dispute resolution lawyers can help
Our person-centred approach means we focus on you – as well as your legal needs. We offer a reliable, personalised service and are always there to reassure you and talk things over at every stage.
We aim to begin each dispute, where possible, by using the various forms of alternative dispute resolution available to us. We’re experienced in adjudication, arbitration proceedings, and mediation – and we’ll always let you know when these routes can prove the most effective choice for your case.
We can also assist you with HM Land Registry adjudication and expert determination, where required. Whatever the circumstances, with Rudlings you’ll always feel informed and clear about what’s happening with your case.
