Wollens Strengthens North Devon Presence With Expansion Of Dispute Resolution Team

Wollens is delighted to expand its Dispute Resolution services, adding strength to the team – particularly in the North Devon area.

Wollens North Devon base is at Roundswell, Barnstaple which is easily accessible from the A39 and Barnstaple town centre. In light of the firm’s successes in Exeter, South Devon and wider afield, and to bolster the broad range of services that Wollens provides across the North Devon region, Wollens is proud to announce the expansion of our Dispute Resolution Team.

Our aim is simple – to allow easy and seamless access to nationally-recognised, experienced and commercially astute dispute resolution / litigation lawyers who can offer a broad range of services in all forms of dispute resolution work. At the heart of its “Excellent Service, Every Team, Every Time” philosophy, Wollens prides itself on direct lawyer contact at the earliest opportunity. Its lawyers appreciate the sensitive nature of dispute work and the damaging and detrimental effect it can have on individuals and businesses and therefore, prompt and discrete advice is critical. The service offers advice on the following:

Business and commercial disputes (such as shareholder disputes)
Inheritance and Wills disputes (such as will challenges)
Farming and agricultural disputes
Disputes relating to property (such as landlord and tenant)
Employment disputes
Debt recovery for businesses and individuals

Overseeing the North Devon presence are two of Wollens most experienced lawyers, Simon Bean and Craig Smith. Together they have over 30 years’ experience in the legal industry. With this experience comes the knowledge and understanding needed to guide individuals and businesses through complex legal landscapes to assist in achieving a proportionate and swift outcome.
