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 healthcare expertise allow us to tailor our advice and the management of your case to achieve your objectives. 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.
We have a great deal of experience of assisting with GP partnership disputes. Our understanding of the internal dynamics within GP practices enables us to give practical, focussed advice and support, which can help to avoid the need for formal litigation. Other examples of the matters on which we can assist GP practices and related bodies (such as LMCs) include:
- shareholder and internal management disputes
- Contract disputes involving LMCs and PCTs (or NHS Commissioning Bodies)
- Supplier disputes
- Debt recovery for private healthcare services
- Defence of personal injury or other compensation claims made against the practice (you are not bound to use your insurers' nominated solicitors for these cases and can instruct the solicitors of your choice)
- Injunction proceedings
- Disputes relating to the protection of confidential information
- Judicial review of decisions by NHS bodies
- Insolvency solutions
- Property litigation claims, including nuisance claims and boundary disputes.
