Contract Disputes

For many of us, an increasingly large part of daily life is underpinned by contracts of one sort or another. From the terms and conditions governing your credit card, bank loan, car finance or mortgage, to the small print on your insurance policies and sales agreements, a binding contract not only sets out your obligations but also offers you protection.

Contracts are fundamental to the way we live our lives, so when they are at the centre of a disagreement, things tend to get complicated – quickly.

George Ide’s experienced dispute resolution lawyers will help you get straight to the heart of the matter, unravel the issues and understand the situation clearly. Perhaps the relationship between contracted parties has broken down or one of the parties is in breach or otherwise neglecting their obligations.

Whatever the problem is, we will help you resolve the dispute swiftly and efficiently, and we will strive to keep you out of court except as a last resort.

Paul Lewis

On April 9th 2010 it was my turn to be involved in a traffic accident with an uninsured driver. Although my injury was only a minor back injury, I wanted to be able to claim some sort of compensation if only for some treatment of physiotherapy. George Ide LLP, appointed by my insurance company, have been absolutely superb in representing my claim for personal injury against the Motor Insurance Bureau. With the expertise of Paul Lewis, Head of Accident Management, he has managed to increase the original offer made by the MIB almost threefold. It has been a long process, as Paul advised from the outset, but has been worthwhile and rewarding. I do hope that I do not need to use Paul’s expertise ever again, but know that if I do I would be in the hands of a very capable and friendly team.

It is essential to feel complete confidence in the advice given and the person of one’s solicitor. I have experienced situations in the past where this has not been the case. When seeking a reliable practice some years ago I asked for a recommendation from a neighbour and was given the name of Mr Ian Oliver. I followed this advice, have used this practice ever since and have recommended it to others with complete confidence. It is very reassuring to be in this position.
