Taking on the Law

Building company boss Alan Casserley got into a bitter battle over an unpaid bill of £23,000, owed, he claimed, for work carried out at the home of a litigation expert. The dispute had dragged on for months, until he engaged the services of Hargreaves Mounteney Solicitors, who drove the processes forward swiftly and vigorously. “The shadow of the court-room’s steps weaved its characteristic magic over our opponent ,” said Jonathan Mounteney. “Although our client did not achieve all that had been originally claimed, nor even everything we thought they were entitled to, a favourable settlement was achieved avoiding the stress and inconvenience of a trial, that dealt with our costs in a manner that did not prejudice our client.” Said Mr: “Casserley: “There seemed no way to get to grips with our former customer. Outrageous allegations were levelled at my company, and our reasonable assertions treated with contempt. “Hargreaves Mounteney Solicitors shifted the pressure-points, bringing our opponent kicking-and-screaming to the table. They helped us come to terms with minimum fuss - and also entered into the arrangement by compromising their costs. If I needed to litigate again, then I’d want to do it with Hargreaves Mounteney Solicitors.” In addition to commercial disputes, Hargreaves Mounteney Solicitors covers most areas of legal processes, specialising in drafting contracts, with particular expertise in supply contracts for computers and IT solutions, or supplies using computers and IT, such as internet sellers. “It is all part of a one-stop-shop service to cover all our clients’ legal needs,” said Jonathan, “including litigation and employment tribunal work.”
