"Whether bringing or defending a claim for harassment, it is critical for there to be an early analysis of the facts and a determination of the key points, so that an agreed strategy can be set at the outset. This will include a review of the other side's finances as often the other side may not have sufficient assets to meet a judgment. A consideration of the economics of a case is important at an early stage, as the costs in cases of harassment and discrimination can rapidly escalate."

"Mediation, a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), is one of the most popular and effective methods of resolving matters through negotiation. It is particularly attractive when the alternative option for individuals and businesses are complex and potentially costly court or arbitral processes. Weightmans' mediation solicitors facilitate resolution through a confidential and cost-effective process tailored to each client's needs." Mediation Solicitors | Weightmans — published by Weightmans retrieved 26 Jun 2026

"Mediation is confidential and fast, with meetings tailored around the parties' schedules. The process is cost effective — very significantly less expensive than a protracted dispute. The parties maintain control, with the mediator providing support to help them evaluate what makes the most sense to them. Resolution is only reached on the basis of what is acceptable to the parties — decisions are not imposed on them by a judge, arbitrator or tribunal." Mediation Solicitors | Weightmans — published by Weightmans retrieved 26 Jun 2026

"The overall success rate of mediation in the UK is very high. According to CEDR's 11th mediation audit, the aggregate settlement rate of mediation is 87%.

Weightmans' mediation solicitors can help draft that binding settlement document and provide independent legal advice before any agreement is made legally binding."

Shareholders may present a petition to the Court if they have been excluded from management or if the company's affairs are being conducted in a manner that is unfairly prejudicial to their interests." Shareholder Dispute Solicitors | Weightmans — published by Weightmans retrieved 26 Jun 2026

"One of the most common ways that a shareholder can raise a dispute is by bringing an unfair prejudice petition under Section 994 of the Companies Act. This remedy is designed to protect the shareholders' interests when a company or its directors take actions that unfairly harms (or 'prejudices') their position. In extreme circumstances, a shareholder can ask the court to liquidate a company on a 'just and equitable' basis under Section 122 of the Insolvency Act." Shareholder Dispute Solicitors | Weightmans — published by Weightmans retrieved 26 Jun 2026

"A derivative action effectively allows a shareholder to bring a claim on behalf of the company. It can be a powerful tool to bring claims against an individual director if they are alleged to have done something wrong or illegal. If two directors who own a company in equal shares fall out, the end result is often that the company finds itself in deadlock; Weightmans' shareholder dispute solicitors can help resolve the conflict by negotiated buyout or through identifying and enforcing deadlock-breaking mechanisms in the company's articles or shareholder agreements."

Contesting a Will: Free Consultation | Weightmans — published by Weightmans retrieved 26 Jun 2026

"There are several grounds for contesting a Will. A person making a Will must have testamentary capacity — the legal and mental ability to make a valid Will. They must understand the nature and effect of making a will, the extent of their property, the impact on those who may inherit, and must not have a disorder of mind. If capacity is lacking, the Will may be invalid and a previous Will or the Intestacy Rules will govern distribution of the estate."

"Weightmans' approach to financial abuse claims includes using alternatives to contested court proceedings, including mediation where appropriate, without losing sight of the emotional impact that legal involvement can have at such a difficult time. A financial abuse claim usually must be brought within six years of the abuse occurring, though this can be extended if the abuse only comes to light later." Financial Abuse Solicitors: Free Consultation | Weightmans — published by Weightmans retrieved 26 Jun 2026

"Under the Fraud Act 2006, it is a criminal offence to take advantage of a position of trust for financial gain, and coercive and controlling behaviour can also be a criminal offence. It is possible to bring a financial abuse claim after the victim has died.

The process fosters cooperation and avoids the hostility and expense of traditional litigation, while providing ongoing legal advice throughout." Collaborative Family Lawyers: Free Consultation | Weightmans — published by Weightmans retrieved 26 Jun 2026

"The Collaborative Law process is built on a commitment to find mutually beneficial solutions without litigation, in a dignified and respectful manner. All parties sign a Participation Agreement at the outset, committing to resolve issues outside court — and typically preventing their lawyers from representing them in court if the process breaks down. Meetings focus on priorities and concerns, and may involve other professionals such as financial advisers, family consultants, or accountants." Collaborative Family Lawyers: Free Consultation | Weightmans — published by Weightmans retrieved 26 Jun 2026

Where cases have an international element — involving parties from different countries, nationals or expatriates, or assets held overseas — Weightmans can advise on jurisdiction, financial remedies, and the potential impact of EU or other country connections.
