Civil Litigation

Disputed civil matters are often complex, stressful and uncertain in outcome. At ABN Solicitors, we provide a clear assessment of your position from the outset — advising you honestly on the merits and realistic prospects of your case, the likely costs and timescales, and the most practical route to resolution.

We handle all aspects of civil litigation from initial pre-action correspondence through to trial. Where possible, we always explore negotiated settlement or alternative dispute resolution as a faster, less costly alternative to court proceedings. Where litigation is unavoidable, we prepare thoroughly and represent our clients with determination.

Contract and Commercial Disputes

We advise on and litigate disputes arising from contractual relationships, including breach of contract claims, disputes over the terms or interpretation of agreements, and claims for damages or specific performance.

Debt Recovery

We advise creditors on the most effective route to recovering money owed, including letter before action correspondence, County Court claims, enforcement of judgments and, where appropriate, insolvency proceedings.

Property Disputes

We advise on a range of property-related disputes, including boundary disputes, adverse possession claims, and disputes between co-owners of property.

Landlord and Tenant Disputes

We act for both landlords and tenants in disputes arising from residential and commercial tenancies, including disrepair claims, deposit disputes, unlawful eviction and possession proceedings.

Professional Negligence

We advise clients who have suffered loss as a result of negligent advice or services from a professional, including solicitors, accountants, surveyors and other advisers.

Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

We are strong advocates for resolving disputes without litigation wherever that is practical and in your interests. We can advise on and represent clients in mediation, arbitration and other forms of ADR, which often achieve faster and cheaper outcomes than court proceedings.
