Described as "sensible and efficient" by our clients, we appreciate that disputes can be divisive, disruptive and expensive to resolve. The quicker and the simpler the solution the better. Our specialist knowledge and experience of social care means that we take full account of the particular considerations, which affect your organisation. We will advise you on the most suitable way to fund any dispute and we will help you explore at an early stage whether to pursue a resolution through mediation, arbitration or other procedures, rather than through the traditional court process if appropriate.
Examples of the matters on which we can assist our social care clients include:
- Local authority contract disputes and dealing with costs consultants
- Fee recovery
- Supplier disputes
- Defence of personal injury or other compensation claims made against your orgainsation (you are not bound to use your insurers' nominated solicitors for these cases and can instruct the solicitors of your choice)
- Judicial review of decisions by government bodies and enabling your residents to obtain independent advice to pursue such actions to resist notice to terminate their placement, with the benefit of public funding
- Injunction proceedings
- Partnership, shareholder and internal management disputes
- Insolvency solutions
- Property litigation, including possession proceedings and nuisance claims.
