Breach of contract
Breach of contract is a broad area of civil litigation which includes all matters involving contracts, including:
- Challenging the validity of a contract or proving a contract exists, in order to deny or claim breach
- Proving loss as a result of the breach
- Proving the loss was not too remote (in other words, was it reasonably foreseeable?)
- Claiming monetary damages
- Seeking injunctions to prevent breach of contract
- Suing for specific performance to compel the defendant to comply with the contract
Professional negligence
Where you have been let down by a professional, such as a surveyor, accountant, or financial advisor, we can advise you on the merits of a professional negligence claim to recover loss caused as a result of their negligent advice.
Why should you choose Huggins Lewis Foskett’s litigation lawyers in London?
At Huggins Lewis Foskett, we will do everything possible to progress your litigation case towards a positive outcome. Our team of highly skilled solicitors will explore every avenue to find the perfect solution to your dispute.
We take pride in our ability to listen carefully to each client’s concerns and considerations, and adjust our litigation approach to suit their needs, strengths, and goals. We form close bonds with our clients, many of whom work and grow closely with us over many years.
As experts in negotiation, wherever possible we will advise you on whether it’s possible to settle out of court, including whether it’s viable to use a method of Alternative Dispute Resolution such as mediation to help progress your discussions with the other party.
Even if settling your dispute out of court is highly unlikely due to the other party’s lack of cooperation, our strategic approach to Pre-Action negotiation means you can start your claim in a favourable position, as the courts expect all parties to try and engage with each other prior to starting legal proceedings.
