As with enforcement, Chris provides services to help you defend or defuse a complaint or claim made against you. If you accept a complaint, you might want to settle quickly to avoid the escalation of costs and risk. Chris can negotiate for you and help obtain the best possible terms.

If the complaint or claim is unjustified, Chris will provide services covering all stages of defending a claim, including strategic or protective offers, negotiations or mediation, the preparation of statements of case and evidence, case management hearings, interim applications such as for striking out or security for costs, final hearings and appeals, and guidance throughout.
