Our commitment to you

At Gullands, we are your business partner with the legal know-how. We offer an initial telephone discussion with one of our team members to establish the nature of the dispute, whether there is any conflict of interest that would prevent us from acting and to identify what documents you will need to send us.

Our first concern will be advising you on the costs, so you can make an informed commercial decision on the best way forward. We can help with credit checks on the opposing party, to make sure the claim is worth pursuing. We will always consider alternative methods of settling disputes (ADR) tailored to your business and your commercial objectives.  

For example, if the best way forward is to retrieve a valuable commercial relationship with the opposing party, we may suggest mediation or another ADR initiative to achieve this.

We consider all the options for funding your legal fees too, from paying us on an hourly rate, a fixed fee for agreed work, or in some cases insurance or “no win no fee agreements”.
