How we can help you to resolve a dispute over property abroad

Out-of-court settlements for foreign property disputes

Wherever possible, we will provide a no obligation initial assessment of your case. This will aim to help identify the issues and to provide to you a solution. Our approach is to approach your property dispute without the need for court proceedings. By communicating effectively with the various parties involved and using our strong negotiation skills, we are usually able to agree a positive outcome through a voluntary settlement. This can save time, money and stress compared to relying on court proceedings, whether in the UK or a foreign jurisdiction.

Foreign court proceedings for property disputes abroad

Unfortunately, not all foreign property disputes can be resolved amicably, so sometimes court proceedings are required. We have strong experience with initiating court proceedings in foreign jurisdictions, so can make sure the proper process is followed and that you have the best possible representation for your case.

Working in this way, we have a great track record of success with foreign court proceedings for property disputes, including at the appeal stage where required, so you can have confidence your case is in safe hands.
