At Hart Scales & Hodges our expert solicitors understand the need to act quickly in order to protect our client’s interests and will efficiently guide you through the entire process with minimal fuss. We have experienced advocates and will represent you in Court hearings when necessary. We also have superb working relationships with specialist barristers who we work closely with when appropriate.

Alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) is often an appropriate method of resolving property disputes and we will advise you fully in this respect. Whilst each individual case will be different, ADR can often bring an early conclusion to a property dispute and, if successful, it will be more cost-effective than proceeding to trial. We can organise, arrange and represent you in relation to various forms of ADR such as mediation, expert determination and arbitration.
