Dispute Resolution Solicitors Stockport: AFG Law

Understanding Dispute Resolution

Dispute resolution involves finding practical, legal solutions to disagreements between individuals or businesses. These disputes can arise in a variety of settings, such as between shareholders and directors, landlords and tenants, employers and employees, for example.

At AFG Law, our dispute resolution solicitors in Stockport aim to resolve disputes as swiftly and cost-effectively as possible. Our focus is always on securing the best possible outcome for our clients, often without the need for court. We understand how stressful disputes can be, which is why we work hard to deliver solutions that are clear and tailored to each client’s specific needs.

Common Disputes We Handle

Our dispute resolution solicitors in Stockport regularly assist clients with a wide range of legal matters, including:

• Contract Disputes: We help resolve issues involving non-payment, failure to meet obligations or poor service.
• Shareholder & Director Disputes: Protecting both personal and commercial interests while aiming to avoid business disruption.
• Landlord & Tenant Issues: From rent arrears to breaches of lease terms, we support both sides.
• Debt Recovery & CCJs: Acting quickly to recover owed sums or defend against unfair claims.
• Neighbour & Boundary Disputes: Offering practical legal advice to defuse tensions and protect your rights.
• Professional Negligence: Supporting clients who have suffered a loss due to poor professional advice or service.
• Winding Up Petitions: Assisting with the issue or defence of petitions related to insolvency.

Using ADR to Settle Disputes

Wherever possible, we encourage the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR includes a range of private and less adversarial options for resolving disputes outside of court, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, adjudication, and expert determination.

In many cases, ADR provides a faster, more affordable, and less stressful route than traditional litigation. It also allows for more flexibility and helps preserve relationships between the parties involved.

ADR Methods We Offer

• Negotiation: A collaborative way to settle disputes directly or through legal representatives.
• Mediation: A neutral third party helps guide discussions towards a mutually acceptable agreement.
• Arbitration: A more formal process where an independent expert makes a binding decision.
• Adjudication: Common in contractual disputes, this fast-track method delivers decisions in as little as 28 days.
• Expert Determination: An industry expert resolves the issue based on technical or specialist knowledge.

Our Approach to Litigation

In some situations, going to court is unavoidable. When this happens, our experienced litigation solicitors are well equipped to represent your interests confidently and professionally.

Our law firm has extensive experience handling a broad spectrum of civil and commercial disputes, from contract breaches to property litigation. No matter the issue, we are committed to keeping costs reasonable and communication transparent every step of the way.
