Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Disputes can lead to expensive, time-consuming and stressful court litigation. PCB’s skilled team can help to resolve disputes, whether by negotiation, arbitration, mediation or court action.
Whether the dispute involves a large sum of money under a building contract, or a consumer problem over the purchase of a defective product; a claim for compensation for a personal injury, or dispute with a neighbour over a boundary: we are here to help.
If you become involved in a dispute, or circumstances which could lead to a dispute, it is important to obtain advice at an early stage as to your legal position. Sound advice in the early stages can help to reduce the escalation of a problem which may end up costing a great deal in terms of your time, and the damaging of personal or business relationships, let alone legal costs.
Many people find themselves involved in a dispute through no fault of their own, in situations which demand some form of action to recover losses, or defend claims made against them.
Our aim is to resolve problems as quickly and cost effectively as possible, ensuring the best possible outcome for you. We can advise you on your prospects of success and the possible value of a claim. We can negotiate on your behalf, assist you in identifying alternative means of dispute resolution (such as mediation), and if necessary act on your behalf in bringing or defending court proceedings.
We can advise in relation to ways of funding the costs of litigation including no win, no fee for some types of litigation.
We have experience of representing clients across a wide range of areas including:
- Accident and Injury claims
- Commercial contract disputes
- Construction Disputes
- Partnership and company disputes
- Debt recovery
- Inheritance disputes
- Probate disputes
- Property disputes
- Planning disputes
- Landlord and Tenant disputes including Residential Possession Proceedings
- Professional Negligence claims
- Employment Disputes

"I had been accepted for Voluntary Redundancy and advised to contact a solicitor to get a basic Settlement Agreement checked and authorised in a limited time. I contacted three solicitors in my area and no-one came back to me - I had been told they were exceptionally busy, despite this being a simple piece of work. I contacted PCB and Ryan Bickham got in touch the same day. We talked through everything over the phone, he explained the paperwork as we went through, asked a few questions to clarify all was correct regarding my contract, dates and salary etc. By the end of the day, all was sorted and very painless. He then proceeded to complete the necessary work and the process was finished prior to the deadline set out by my company. I would highly recommend PCB (and Ryan Bickham, of course, if Employment Law is required)."J. Ferguson
"Settlement Agreement - What I thought may have been a confusing and challenging conversation regarding my settlement was anything but. Ryan Bickham guided me through the agreement, pointed out in plain language the interpretation of each section and made me aware of my rights regarding what the Company were asking me to agree to. The whole experience was very stress free and completed in a very short period of time. My personal thanks to Ryan and I will be using PCB Solicitors again."Anonymous
A very positive experience. I was initially a bit sceptical about the need for advice/ instruction insisted upon by my former employer, but I was assured that this was perfectly normal practice and that all could be done within the available budget. The advice that I received was efficient, timely and professional. Thank you!Mrs W

"Good morning Ryan, I just wanted to let you know that the problem regarding the car purchase has been resolved amicably. The garage agreed not to pursue any further demands for signatures and, as a goodwill gesture, have included many extra items with the car. In view of your comments, we have decided to go ahead with the purchase. We very much appreciate your advice."Liz
