Whenever a situation has the potential to end in court then you need the advice of someone who understands the nature and complexities of litigation. Adams has striven hard to ensure that we provide a client friendly approach to disputes. We can assess your needs, outline the options and give a clear opinion of the strengths and weaknesses of your case.

Wherever possible, we will try to resolve disputes without becoming involved in an actual trial before a Judge. This can be expensive and heavy on your time. Unlike the court system, a negotiated settlement must he accepted by both sides. There are no winners or losers as both sides feel they are getting the best result for them. A settlement will take into account the commercial realities of the situation, which means your relationship can survive the disagreement and hopefully continue for the benefit of both parties.

Where a negotiated settlement proves impossible or is not the option you wish to pursue, then the swiftest and most appropriate procedures are applied. This means assessing the likely outcome, the cost to you, the time scale and the ability of the other party to meet their obligations.

Among the wide range of services we provide are the following:

		Resolution of commercial and personal disputes
		Debt collection (multiple and individual)
		Mortgage repossession actions
		Disputes over property ownership
		Contractual disputes
		Disputes over inheritance and probate actions
		Partnership disputes and dissolution
		Issuing of proceedings in the High and County Courts and Employment Tribunals
		Obtaining injunctions
		Insolvency and bankruptcy work
		Management and progression of insurance claims
		Building disputes
		Landlord and Tenant Act proceedings for residential and commercial clients
		Personal injury claims

If you would like further information please do contact our expert litigation solicitors. Simply complete our enquiry form or call us on 020 7790 2000 (east London) or 020 7182 4500 (West End). We are happy to give you initial advice to help you understand the implications, the procedure and the best course of action – and depending on the case, the first consultation is often free.

Before making an enquiry please note that like most solicitors, Adams does not handle claims for less than £5,000. We advise all clients seeking recompense for less than £5,000 to use the special procedure for handling smaller claims in a county court (the ‘small claims court’). In almost all cases, this is a more efficient and cost-effective route for claims of this value, since it does not require the payment of legal fees. Click here to learn more.
