Dispute resolution
Dispute Resolution: We are specialists in all areas
It’s easy for minor problems to escalate into major disputes, seemingly in the blink of an eye. Opposite sides of the fence become entrenched in their views, dialogue turns to silence, action becomes impasse.
We’ve built more than 150 years’ experience in helping people overcome what might seem insurmountable. We do this through our expertise in litigation and skills in mediation.
Wollens Dispute Resolution services cover the full range of disputes that commercial and individual clients encounter, from contractual disputes between businesses and complex property disputes, to contested inheritance disputes.
Where a client has the misfortune to have a dispute, they need a specialist.
At Wollens, we have put together a team of excellent, hugely-experienced and nationally-recognised lawyers who focus purely on litigation dispute resolution and alternative dispute resolution work.
Crucially, each of our lawyers is a complete specialist in one or more of the dispute resolution practice areas: when you instruct Wollens to advise and represent you in your dispute, your lawyer (or team of lawyers) will be a specialist not just in dispute resolution practice, but in the subject-matter of your dispute. This can make a critical difference to the outcome.

Where should you give birth ? Things to consider to ensure your safety
Hannah Goodman is a Paralegal in our Clinical Negligence team and has put this helpful guide together looking at options that you should consider to remain safe during childbirth.
In the UK, you have the choice to give birth at home, in hospital or in a midwifery unit, and you should be supported in whatever choice you make. It is just as important to be aware and understand which of those options may not be safe for you or your baby. Your options may be limited by your circumstances, and you may find that your priorities and needs change as time goes on.

Cosmetic Treatments Abroad
There is no doubt that having cosmetic surgery or dentistry abroad is often the cheaper way to do it, however it is important to understand the possible risks involved before making the decision to travel outside of the UK for the treatment. Although the less expensive option is appealing, the price of the procedure usually reflects the quality of treatment that you will receive and can put your health and appearance at risk. One of the main reasons for this is that many treatment providers in other countries do not have to adhere to strict regulations, unlike in the UK.
