Dispute Resolution & Litigation

Dispute resolution and litigation solicitors at ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan - Duncan Hamilton and Duncan McFadzean

At ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan we believe that one of the most important services that we can offer our clients is dispute resolution.  We offer this service to both individuals and businesses.

Dispute Resolution Solicitors 

Unfortunately, the court system can be slow and expensive, and it is therefore important that our clients receive advice which is designed to help them achieve as quick and satisfactory a resolution to their dispute as is possible.

Almost everyone has been involved in a dispute at one time.  It is a familiar feeling to be sure that you are in the right, but not to know exactly how to explain this from a legal perspective, particularly if the other party is not listening!  That is one of the areas in which our solicitors provide support to our clients.

Whether your business is chasing an unpaid invoice, you have been accused of poor workmanship or a breach of contract, you have suffered from poor performance or delay by a tradesman or other service provider, or you are involved in court proceedings or a dispute, our solicitors can help you state your position in a legal manner which is relevant and therefore more likely to achieve a result.  We can deal directly with the other party on your behalf, and we can also represent you in court proceedings if these prove necessary.

ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan offer our dispute resolution service from our West and East Edinburgh offices, and we can arrange site visits with our clients as required.

Catherine, thanks for making everything so easy and stress free! Thank you!

We found the service from ELP to be excellent and very efficient. From the first interview to talk through what we needed in the will to the actual signing was only 10 days. The whole process was explained clearly and we were encouraged to confront the very difficult and emotive issues that are involved in drawing up a will to ensure that all eventualities were covered and our wishes respected.

I would like to express my gratitude towards you for the professional, courteous, efficient, and helpful manner in which you conducted yourself within the business of dealing with myself and the sale of my property. You are a credit to yourself and the people that you represent.

We have been using the services of ELP, especially their employment law advice service for employers, for more than 3 years. The reason we chose ELP is previous firms of lawyers we used were very aloof and did not offer practical guidance. We have a great relationship with them and trust Duncan’s advice implicitly. The reason for this is he knows our business and understands our style of management. This is invaluable when you are dealing with staff issues. The advice given is straight forward and to the point. ELP have also helped us develop our staff handbook and other procedures that are relevant to our company over the years.

We used ELP in 2004 to manage the purchase of our first property.  More than a decade later, we were happy to use ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan again.  Laura and her team provide a thoughtful, personal service that made managing the trickier parts of the conveyancing process much less stressful than they would have been otherwise.  We have recommended ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan to several friends and colleagues who have been buying and selling property in Edinburgh and would not hesitate to do so again.

I just wanted to thank you for your professional service you provided me during what is a very difficult time for me. Your experience, diligence and knowledge have resulted in a larger settlement of which I am very grateful . I also appreciated your patience and understanding of my situation. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.
