Case Studies

Debt Recovery
Nicola acted for an industrial kitchen supplier who had not been paid by their customer for the installation of Kitchen equipment. This involved reaching a settlement at an early stage, before a claim was issued, thereby avoiding the cost of issuing legal proceedings.
Breach of Contract
Nicola represented an accountancy firm for a breach of contract claim, where their client had not paid them for work which they had undertaken. This included advising on the merits of their claim and quickly and successfully negotiating a settlement agreement.  This enabled the claim to be discontinued without the reverting to costly litigation.
Property Recovery
Nicola Muir works within the Property Litigation team when they act for Landlords of Assured Shorthold Tenancies. This involves recovering possession of the property and/or rental arrears by issuing notices to the tenant and, where necessary, proceeding through county court actions.
