Litigation can be expensive to lose – the aim of our Manchester solicitors must be to win or achieve a satisfactory resolution. It is essential to properly assess and continue to assess each case. Solicitors are as good as their last job in the litigious area.

It is always preferable to encourage both parties in a dispute to resolve their differences at the earliest opportunity, but when this is not possible we act quickly to progress matters to a final hearing.

It is important to have strong and intelligent management of the claim to move quickly and cost-effectively. The legal advice you receive from our Manchester solicitors should never neglect the needs of your wider aims and business goals. We will keep this in mind and aim to prevent you from being distracted from your business.

Manchester solicitors who keep their eye on the big picture

At Stripes, we are aware that it’s important to keep an eye on the big picture in terms of the overall business relationships between the parties.

In some cases, with careful management and effective communication, it is possible to resolve the dispute with the fundamental business relationship still intact.

We are a Manchester law firm which ensure that you are kept informed at all times as we understand the anxiety surrounding these difficulties. We are approachable, and will support you with what we trust you will find to be a no-nonsense, down-to-earth style.

Part of the communication issue revolves around costs. You need to be informed regularly of the associated costs relating to your commercial action.

In most instances, these costs are based on a standard hourly rate which you will be quoted at the outset. There are, however, other arrangements that can be made such as:

  • Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs) involving No Win – No Fee
  • Fixed-Fee appraisals or steps

    • Without prejudice: What it is, and when you should use it
      What is without prejudice? Despite being in use in British courts for more than a 100 years, the ‘without prejudice’ rule is well known but not necessarily well understood. Opinions and case law on it have changed, so perhaps this is not surprising. However, it is worth knowing the logic and the basics behind the [...]
