FAQ
What is the process of dealing with a property dispute case?
We will at an initial consultation discuss the details of your case. Once we have a thorough understanding of the situation, we will attempt to resolve the dispute through negotiation. This is the fastest and most effective way of reaching a positive outcome early on. However, in some cases, a property dispute will have to be escalated to court. If that happens, our commercial property litigation lawyers will prepare and execute your court claim or defence.
Can you undertake court proceedings?
Yes, however, where possible, we aim to resolve commercial property disputes without the need for court proceedings. We do this to save you the time and money required for a lengthy court case. Unavoidably some cases can become complicated. If litigation is determined to be the most suitable course of action in your commercial property dispute, our team has the knowledge and experience to represent you in court. At Witan Solicitors, all our Solicitors are Solicitor Advocates meaning they can represent you at Court hearings without the additional cost of a Barrister.
Are you part of industry recognised associations?
Yes, we are. We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and members of the Law Society, Legal 500, Association of Professional Negligence Lawyers, Resolution and the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce.
