We recognise that clients usually want to conclude disputes as quickly and as cost-effectively as circumstances permit. We are very experienced in resolving disputes. Often this is achieved through pre-action claim correspondence and more formal processes, including (for example) mediation and without prejudice negotiations. We also conduct litigation in courts and tribunals at all levels, as well as arbitration and adjudication.
The team is led by very experienced partners Alison Leith and Nigel Broadbent and is based at our offices at Wynyard Business Park, an ideal location for in-person meetings where preferred. Our clients are based across Teesside, the North of England, and nationally.

Call: 01740 646000If you or your business have suffered a loss of money or opportunity as a result of the actions (or omissions) of a professional service provider then we will be able to provide cost-effective, timely advice that will enable you to make your claim cost-effectively and in a managed way that enables you to assess prospects of success and to weigh settlement offers.
If a professional service provider has let you down, causing you or your business to suffer a financial loss or a lost opportunity, then it is important that you act without avoidable delay. There are statutory time limits within which such claims can be brought, and in some cases, it is necessary to act quickly to preserve evidence that you may need to prove your claim in court.
Many agreements for the transfer of a business to new owners contain rights and obligations that come into effect in the months and years after the sale.
If you are involved in a dispute relating to a business sale, or if you would like to be prepared for any disputes that may be on the horizon, then please call a member of the Commercial Disputes and Employment team today.
Tilly Bailey & Irvine can offer advice and assistance regarding all aspects of debt recovery and can guide you through the whole process, from sending initial letters before action to the debtors, through to obtaining a Court Judgment and enforcement. We can also negotiate with your debtor to enter into a repayment plan if necessary.
Alternately, you do not have to issue Court proceedings against a debtor to recover the debt. You can go down the insolvency route by issuing a statutory demand and either a bankruptcy petition for an individual debtor or a winding up petition against a company.
We are experienced in dealing with all forms of contracts used in construction and engineering projects (NEC, JCT etc) and will guide you through the often-complex process of notifying disputes, claiming (and if necessary disputing) payments, whether on account payment, final account determinations, or retention disputes. If formal process is required, be it adjudication, arbitration, litigation, or alternative dispute resolution (mediation, negotiation, early neutral evaluation and so on), then we will guide you every step of the way.

Sometimes we need to make a financial decision that is of such importance we decide to pay for professional advice. This may be from an accountant, a tax specialist, a pensions expert, a mortgage consultant, an independent financial advisor, a land valuer or surveyor, or even a lawyer offering financial or tax planning services.
Our commercial disputes solicitors explain what rights to light you have in your home and what you can do if these rights are threatened by a proposed development.
