Commercial Landlord & Tenant Disputes

Our lawyers are assertive litigators and experienced negotiators. We can advise you of your options to achieve a resolution of your property dispute which may include Court proceedings, arbitration, mediation and other dispute resolution alternatives.

Dealing with tenants of business premises in financial difficulties may need a more creative solution than simply forfeiting the lease and finding a new tenant. If your tenant has gone bust – check the lease. If they were not the original tenant, but took an assignment from your original tenant you may be able to go back to the original tenant and recover the rent from them instead.

Injunctions

If you need to preserve or prevent the loss of an asset, protect against personal harm, prevent loss or damage to or otherwise safeguard business or personal interests, it may be necessary to apply for an injunction.

An injunction is a court order that either stops someone from doing something or requires them to take a specific action. Injunctions are used in urgent situations, for example, to stop the sale of assets, prevent the misuse of confidential information, prevent someone from breaching a contract or to freeze a bank account.

Injunctions are serious and often time sensitive. If granted, they can take immediate effect. If you need an injunction or receive notification that someone has applied for injunctive relief against you, it is important to act quickly.

Insolvency Litigation

We regularly advise on asset recovery, director claims, creditor enforcement, and disputes concerning the conduct of insolvency proceedings. Whether a client is seeking to take action or defend a claim, we provide strategic, commercially focused advice tailored to the urgency and complexity of the situation.

We are also experienced in dealing with interim court applications, emergency relief, and disclosure orders. Our team acts quickly and decisively to protect your interests when timing is critical.

Residential Landlord & Tenant Disputes

Residential Landlord and Tenant

We specialise in acting for Landlords and Managing Agents with significant property portfolios as well as representing Landlords and Tenants of larger residential properties.

It is important that as a landlord you comply with the legislation when managing your property so as to avoid claims being made against you.

Examples of possible disputes between landlords and tenants are:

  • Tenants have stopped paying their rent.
  • Damage to the property or disruptive behaviour.
  • Dispute with the letting agents.
  • Tenant eviction.
  • Service charge and insurance claims.

We can assist you in giving practical advice on how to manage your relationship with your tenant or landlord, prepare the documentation you need and ensure that if court proceedings become necessary they are handled in a cost effective and time efficient manner.

We do not advise:

  • Tenants on Housing Law
  • publicly funded Legal Help / Legal Assistance scheme (Legal Aid). If you are in receipt of benefits or think you may qualify for the scheme it may assist you to make enquiries of your local Citizens Advice Bureau or a firm offering Legal Aid advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your most pressing questions about our services and processes.

The first question most people need to ask themselves – is the dispute worth it? For instance, it might not be worth making a claim if it is going to cost you almost as much as you’re claiming.

Mediation is a much faster and cheaper option than going to court. Mediation has been around for a long time and would be carried out at an agreed venue (a solicitors or a hotel, but not at court) with each side in separate rooms and the Mediator shuttling between rooms helping you find that compromise acceptable to you both. If agreement is reached, that will be written down there and then, signed by both sides and can then be sent to the Court to be sealed. It will have the same authority as any other Court Order and as long as the agreed terms are then carried out, it brings the formal Court case to an end. Speak to our Mediators for more information.
