West Pier, Dún Laoghaire
Easy to contact and meet.
Practical legal pressure, without noise.
We write the demand, test the defence, and push for settlement when it makes sense. If the matter must go to court, you are prepared.
Our dispute and debt services
We keep the work focused. Each step is built to move the matter towards payment, settlement, or a defended case position with the least wasted time.
Mediation services
We prepare the case, attend the room, and keep the talks grounded. This suits contract, neighbour, workplace, and property disputes.
Debt recovery letters and demand notices
A firm letter often changes the pace. We issue a proper demand, set deadlines, and keep the paper trail clean.
Civil claim defence in District and Circuit Court
If a claim lands on your desk, we draft the response, enter appearance, and build the defence before deadlines bite.
Commercial and employment disputes
We handle unpaid invoices, breach issues, and workplace disputes with a direct plan. No wasted motion.
Debt recovery solicitor support
We chase payment in a way that fits the size of the debt, the other side's position, and the court route if it comes to that.
How we recover your money
The process is simple. We assess the debt, set the pressure, then decide if negotiation will do the job or if proceedings are the right next step.
Step 1
Assessment of the debt and legal position
We check the paperwork, due date, contract terms, and any defence the other side may raise. That tells us how hard to push.
Step 2
Letter of demand with a 7-day notice
The first formal letter is clear and specific. It asks for payment, sets the deadline, and warns that proceedings can follow.
Step 3
Negotiation with the debtor
We keep talks controlled. If part-payment, instalments, or a settlement figure makes sense, we put it in writing.
Step 4
Court proceedings if needed
If the debt stays unpaid, we move to court with the file in order and the deadline work done. That saves time later.
Mediation keeps the pressure down
Some disputes need a judge. Many do not. Mediation gives both sides a private room, a clear agenda, and a chance to settle before the file hardens.
A smarter way to settle
Mediation is confidential, quicker than a hearing, and usually cheaper than running a full case. We use it where the numbers and the relationship still matter.
Confidential talks
What is said in the room stays in the room.
Fast scheduling
We do not leave a file sitting for weeks without a reason.
Lower cost path
It can stop a dispute before the legal bill gets bigger than the claim.
Defending a civil claim? Act fast
Missing an appearance date or defence deadline can hand the other side an advantage. We move quickly on service, defence, and any counterclaim that belongs in the file.
