Cripps Harries Hall

Accidents happen. Professional advice may be substandard. People can let you down. Neighbours quarrel. There may be a dispute over a will. You may be out of pocket and want to bring a claim. Or someone may be claiming against you.

What we do

We have specialists in areas where you are likely to need help:

• Contract problems
• Personal injury
• Professional negligence
• Property disputes
• Claims involving trusts, estates or a will 

Fortunately it's not just a choice between expensive litigation and doing nothing. There are other options.  A negotiated settlement is nearly always best - and most cases do settle. There are also alternatives to court proceedings - Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) - that our lawyers regularly recommend.

Arbitration is a private hearing before an independent arbitrator. Arbitration has a role in resolving employment and consumer disputes.

In Mediation an expert tries to help the two sides reach agreement. It is suitable for most forms of dispute. Decisions are binding only if both sides want them to be. Settling disputes this way works in 80% of cases.

Ombudsmen can resolve some disputes, but their decisions are sometimes ignored. Compensation tends to be low.

In early neutral evaluation an independent expert hears both sides and gives a non-binding opinion.

We have successfully handled many disputes - over the sale of goods and services, other contract disputes, insurance claims and motoring offences to name a few.

Why Cripps Harries Hall?

We are large enough to have specialist lawyers with the skills you need, but able also to offer a personal service suited to your individual requirements.
