What is Personal Dispute Resolution?

At Butcher & Barlow, we always try to speak your language but occasionally we have to use legal terms. Our Glossary will help you understand those phrases that may seem a little alien to you.

Disagreements can arise in many ways and disputes can take on a variety of forms. Just some of the specialist areas we can advise on are listed below. You can also visit our pages for further ways in which our team can resolve your dispute.

Whatever your dispute, our team is there for you. If you would like to arrange a free, no obligation appointment, whether by video, telephone or in person, to discuss your requirements, please get in touch with any member of our team.

How can we help you?

Unpaid debts can have serious financial implications for you as an individual. You may have overpaid for a service or received a judgment in your favour and the other person or business is refusing to pay the money owed to you. We often recover the full sum due without needing to issue court proceedings. If court proceedings are necessary, you can rest assured knowing that you have a team of experienced solicitors on your side who have your best interests in mind

If you have entered into a contract with a supplier of goods or services such as a builder, and that business does not comply with its obligations under the contract, our team will advise you whether compensation is due to you.

You may be looking to receive a refund for a defective product, have a travel claim, or perhaps need to make a claim through your credit card provider. Our team can advise you on whether it is worth your while pursuing the claim and if it is, whether it is cost effective to instruct solicitors to assist you.

When you put your faith in a professional, the last thing you expect is for them to be negligent. Unfortunately, professionals do sometimes make mistakes, give the wrong advice, and miss deadlines etc. Our team can help put these mistakes right, whether through arbitration, mediation, or court proceedings, guiding you through the process and helping ease the emotional burden.

    Engaged with Thomas Travis of Butcher & Barlow after having used other members of the team on a successful business sale project a few months earlier. We had an ongoing dispute with a local developer on the property boundary and Thomas proposed a strategy that ultimately achieved a successful outcome that satisfied our boundary protection requirements. Thomas and his colleagues were supportive in their updates and feedback but also encouraged our input on the programmes strategy.

    Mr A

    For over 12 months, Mark at Butcher & Barlow has been providing me with excellent legal advice. Although it sometimes might not have been what I wanted to hear, it was always in my best interests. Mark informed me of the fees up front, so there were never any hidden costs. Communication and follow-up was excellent and Mark was able to discuss my case either on the phone, by email or face to face. I would highly recommend Butcher & Barlow.
