Dispute Resolution Services
SPECIALIST DISPUTE RESOLUTION TEAM
Disputes are not pleasant. When two parties have a disagreement, it can often result in damaging behaviour and allegations.
No one enjoys falling out but sadly, it happens. At Dunn & Baker Solicitors, we work with you to find the best outcome – an outcome that avoids undue unpleasantness, unnecessary costs, and prolonged anxiety and worry.
DISPUTES
Disputes can arise for any number of reasons. You may have a boundary dispute with your new neighbour, a disagreement with family members over the terms of a Will, or perhaps it is the quality of workmanship carried out on your property by a builder. Whatever the reason, you want to trust your solicitor to achieve the best possible result for you. At Dunn & Baker Solicitors, you will have access to some of the best lawyers in the UK.
COSTS AND TIMESCALES
Disputes are often seen as expensive and lengthy. At the outset, we advise you on what the costs may be of pursuing your matter. We promise to keep you updated on costs throughout so that there are no nasty surprises when your dispute is resolved. Our lawyers will negotiate on your behalf and try and resolve your disagreement as promptly as we can.
MEDIATE
We may also be able to mediate with the other side. Mediation is a formal process which can often reach a speedier conclusion and may avoid taking matters to court. Your lawyer will discuss the best approach with you and you can then decide which approach is best for you.
ADVICE AND EXPERIENCE
We are confident that our advice and experience will make the claim process as simple as it can be for you. Talking to our legal experts will help you understand your situation more clearly and ensure you make the right decisions to support your case.
FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION
Dunn & Baker Solicitors also offers FREE Initial Consultation, which means that you can discuss your situation and options with us before deciding which approach is best for you. Once we know what your dispute is, our aim is a quick and successful resolution for you. Contact us today to discuss your dispute.

Are you:
- using a big debt collection agency that runs out of steam the moment a debtor starts using delaying tactics or puts in a spurious defence to County Court Proceedings?
- dealing with someone different every time you contact them?
- being charged on a structure that discourages spending any time getting the difficult ones in?
We don’t think you should be.
Our debt collection service plays an important role in our clients’ day to day cash flow. Our debt recovery department will realistically advise you on debt and the differing recovery methods available to give the best prospect of recovering the sums due to you.
Remember – a low write off percentage makes for a good cash flow and, just as importantly, demonstrates to banks and other lenders that you have a tight and effective control on credit.
Credit Screening – is a new company requesting a credit account and the name of a director rings a faint bell? Don’t get caught out.
We can help you:
- establish and verify the track record of previous businesses and companies that he or she may have been involved in – it can sometimes be quite an eye opener!
- design credit account application forms so that the most useful information is extracted to enable you to make a valued judgement.
- design terms and conditions which set out in clear detail what your customers can expect from you and what you will provide in turn

When you ask for professional advice that is what you expect. If that advice results in some form of loss Dunn & Baker Solicitors help you decide what action to take.
If you ask a professional advisor for help, the last outcome you imagine is one where their advice causes a problem. Surveyors, Architects, Solicitors and Accountants are all bound by professional standards. They owe you a duty of reasonable care and skill. When their advice is negligent, damage or some form of loss may occur. If this happens you need to know what options you have and how to go about making a claim. Instructing a legal expert will help you achieve the result you deserve and support you through the legal process.
Dunn & Baker Solicitors legal experts are amongst the best in the UK. They will explain the process of making a claim, what it may cost and how long it will take. Dealing with a professional negligence dispute can take time. Demonstrating what has failed – and the losses suffered can be complicated. We explain everything simply. Together we explore options, agree the best course of action – this could be litigation, negotiation or mediation but we explain each, and what they mean. Finally we aim to secure the best outcome possible for you.

If your holiday doesn’t go as planned and it is someone else’s fault, Dunn & Baker Solicitors can help you claim compensation or damages (small claims limit £10,000).
Holidays don’t always turn out to be the relaxing break you’ve been looking forward to. Flight delays, lost luggage, poor quality or misrepresented accommodation, accidents and food poisoning can ruin a break. After the holiday, knowing if you have a claim, if a breach of contract has occurred, who should be held responsible and what steps you should take may seem as though it is more trouble than it is worth.
Dunn & Baker Solicitors ensure you complain effectively. We explain what procedures you need to follow. We ask lots of questions to make sure we understand all the facts – what was promised and what fell short of the required standard. We understand what you have done so far and plan with you what to do next. Your options will be explained, as will likely timescales and costs. Once we start work on your claim, we promise to keep in regular contact and to answer any questions you have promptly.
To start the process of claiming for a ruined holiday contact us today and arrange your FREE initial consultation.
The terms of a Will can cause distress. If there isn’t one, this is difficult too. Dunn & Baker Solicitors can advise on any matter where a Will or inheritance is in dispute.
When a loved one passes leaving a Will, disagreement can arise because of the terms of that Will. Disputes can arise about who or what is included or excluded and sometimes whether there is a Will at all. Naturally, emotions run high and the only way to sort things out is by seeking expert guidance. Dunn & Baker Solicitors can help you do things the right way, so you can have total peace of mind.
At Dunn & Baker Solicitors, our role is to offer calm, friendly and professional advice. If you dispute any part of a Will, or the entire estate, we can explain what your rights are. We do the same if it is being disputed by another party. Options, costs, and timescales will be discussed before we start work for you. Disputing an estate is a complex area of law. In everything that we do for you, we will explain using the plainest language we can. It is our job is to ensure you feel completely at ease.
