Dispute Resolution Solicitor in Bristol
How Can Nick Help You?
Nick deals with a wide variety of commercial disputes. As well as dealing with general contract disputes, he specialises in professional negligence (not his own), shareholder disputes and partnership disputes, particularly those in the healthcare field (where a lifetime of reluctantly listening to his family of medics talk shop is finally paying off).
Nick also has experience in insolvency litigation, statutory demands and winding up petitions and so often deals with corporate administration, liquidation and personal bankruptcy. He has brought and defended claims against directors for breach of directors duties or misfeasance as well as defended CDDA actions.
Generally, if you're involved in any kind of dispute, Nick will be happy to weigh in on your side.
