Funding your Dispute

We were impressed with the manner in which both Steven and Ian were quickly able to appreciate and understand the key commercial and family dynamic issues and turn this into a transparent and effective strategy. Throughout the whole process, they presented a professional and firmly assertive approach which resulted in a settlement being achieved in an excellently negotiated manner.

We would have no hesitation, and indeed it is a great pleasure, in recommending HCR to any prospective client, as they provide an increasingly rare commodity – effective litigation combined with integrity, transparency, competitive fees and excellent client communication.

I want to thank Ian for all his time, patience & efforts. He has been a delight to deal with, and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of them.

Tom Williams is also noted, focusing on disputes over the supply of goods and service as well as the enforcement of restrictive covenants.

Tahlia is acting for us in relation to a £7 million claim. She is guiding us through the litigation process brilliantly and is adept, well-connected and an excellent communicator.

The claim is technically complex, and Tahlia’s immense knowledge and experience makes navigating the difficult landscape of litigation much easier.

She has been great at helping us navigate some significant challenges that have arisen, is organised and keeps a keen eye on costs.

It was a tough time for the business, having to deal with this dispute in the middle of a pandemic, but with the assistance of Harrison Clark Rickerbys, it was a great relief that a resolution was eventually reached at mediation. Now the business can look forward to the future with a fresh start.

We found Steve Murray to be very professional and focused on the real issues of the dispute and not distracted by anything not relevant. Steve was able to appreciate and understand the many challenging issues that a family business has.

At times it was getting difficult for us to deal with all the bogus accusations, but each time I discussed anything with Steve over the phone, I always felt more positive, which was a great help. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Steve and his team for any dispute that cannot be easily resolved.

Simon managed an extremely difficult and acrimonious dispute with my former partner over a period of several years. Throughout this time he was extraordinarily pro-active and supportive whilst acting as a much needed, and very effective conduit, or barrier, between myself and the third party.

His advice was clear and first-class, and without his guidance throughout the case I have no doubt that the outcome would have been very different. Communication was excellent at all times, and he responded almost immediately to any queries I raised.

I feel very fortunate to have been represented by Simon, and I am extremely grateful to him for his time, patience and wisdom. I have recommended him to a number of clients and colleagues, and shall continue to do so.

We worked with Claire on a complicated family company dispute where, at times, emotions ran high.

Claire took the time to understand our needs and worked closely and diligently with us, and a suitable settlement was reached.

Throughout the case, Claire was professional and proficient and always took the time to explain each step in lay language, which meant we always felt a part of the process.

Claire is an excellent solicitor with brilliant interpersonal skills and empathy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who requires an experienced dispute lawyer.

I am extremely appreciative of the outstanding legal representation provided by Claire. Her expertise in handling my professional negligence matter was evident throughout the entire process. Not only was she highly professional and knowledgeable, but she was also very kind and understanding. She skilfully navigated the complexities of the case, always keeping me informed and addressing my concerns.

What impresses me the most was her honesty and level-headedness – she never made unrealistic promises, but instead provided a clear and accurate assessment of the situation and was careful to manage expectations. Her unwavering support and genuine care made a difficult time much more manageable. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking legal representation.

Over the last year or so, we have instructed Elizabeth Beatty to act for us on several complex litigation matters. She has provided an outstanding service. She is proactive, responsive, and technically gifted. The support given to us has been exemplary.

We have benefitted greatly from her knowledge, expertise, commerciality and overall understanding of our business and its objectives. We have been very happy with our experiences with HCR in general and Elizabeth in particular.
