Our Offerings

What We Offer

One of the founding principles of the firm is that we feel that most firms are a little alienated from their clients and their clients’ businesses. We aim to be different. We understand the financial challenges of running a business and we focus on resolving matters efficiently, without simply running up costs.

Anya, an accredited mediator, offers a practical alternative to litigation, through mediation, helping parties reach settlements in cases where court action may be impractical. While not always successful, mediation is often an effective way to resolve matters that should not be litigated in Court due to the quantum of the claim.

In addition, we offer a skilled debt collection service, whereby we are able to take a debt collection matter all the way to trial should it be necessary. We work diligently to secure cost orders that help our clients recover a portion of their legal fees from the debtor.

Furthermore, when settling a matter once litigation has commenced, we prioritize protecting your rights by ensuring that settlements become court orders (as we would with a mediation agreement) and will always seek to clarify the issue of costs, ensuring that the debtor pays when he is in default.

We also offer comprehensive contract drafting services. No matter how simplistic the deal may be, if it is business, we honestly believe that you should protect yourself by having a sound agreement in place. Our experience has shown that the cost of defending a poor agreement often far exceeds the investment in a well-drafted contract from the outset.

Lastly, we assist with matrimonial matters, including divorces, children's court issues, domestic violence, and maintenance cases. We are committed to achieving the best possible outcomes while keeping you informed and minimizing the stress these situations can bring.

Please feel free to contact us with any queries. We are dedicated to providing practical, cost-efficient solutions.
