Meadows Fraser LLP’s property litigation team provides expert advice on the full range of property related disputes as well as specialist guidance on landlord and tenant matters. Our firm’s broad technical knowledge is complemented by extensive practical experience.
We act for both commercial landlords and tenants – this gives us perspective and enables us to understand the concerns and priorities of the other parties.
Our clients range from investment managers with large and varied property portfolios to individuals with smaller portfolios. We also act for a number of retail tenants, including restaurant owners.
We have a strong track record in both devising strategies to avoid disputes developing and in resolving those that do occur as cost effectively as possible. This includes a detailed knowledge of all forms of dispute resolution ranging from small scale mediations and adjudication to arbitration and litigation.
We recognise that major disputes absorb significant resources in terms of both management time and costs. Accordingly and where appropriate to the business needs of clients, we use a variety of alternative dispute resolution techniques, such as expert determination, mediation and arbitration.
While we act for clients in all courts and tribunals, much of our work involves advice on ways to manage problems so that they can be resolved without the need to issue proceedings.
