CIVIL LITIGATION SOLICITORS LONDON

We offer Specialist Civil Litigation Services with our expert solicitors, in London.

Are you facing possession claims issued by Nationwide Finance Ltd (‘NFL’ – no connection to Nationwide Building Society) or Bluerock Secured Finance Limited, formerly known as Alfandari Private Equities Ltd?

Were you persuaded by advertisements promising loans dressed up as sale and lease back agreements at a good rate without any protracted disclosure or usual formalities and without a clear explanation that any loan would be secured against a guarantor’s property, so putting friends and family at risk of losing their homes?

Were you hustled through the process of signing the documents, without time to properly consider them or to the time to seek independent legal advice?

We are representing several clients in defending such claims and would be interested to hear from you if you require expert assistance.

Please call Miss Jo Walia, principal of this firm on 07736790321, who will be happy to talk to you or write to us at Van Eaton Solicitors,  69b Leigham Court Road, Streatham Hill, London SW16 2NJ or by e-mail to jowalia@msn.com

PERSONAL ADVICE, COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS

Reassurance And Guidance — It’s Our Business

At Van Eaton civil litigation solicitors in London, we make it our business to provide you with all the reassurance and guidance you need. You may be facing uncertainty in your business, at work or at home. We can give you clarity and options you can work with. Our Specialist Civil Litigation Services cover a wide range of legal areas.

Specialist Civil Litigation Services page blue asterisk symbolWe give legal advice to clients involved in all types of disagreements, ranging from commercial litigation to will disputes. Our team never forget that the people who approach us are spending their money to correct a wrong or defend themselves against claims. We promote settlements and alternative dispute resolution so you avoid court, but pursue claims vigorously if we need to.

If the case is assessed by a barrister as having strong merits, we will consider undertaking the same on a No Win No Fee basis.

Our Specialist Civil Litigation Services

We offer specialist civil litigation services and negotiate settlements in a wide range of areas, including commercial property and family law. Our principal solicitor, Jo Walia, provides a uniquely personal legal service to all clients. She believes close contact with clients is the best way to tailor advice to the particular circumstances of each case.

We aim for a city-type service at local rates. As a small firm, we do not have the layers of bureaucracy of larger firms. We react quickly when we need to, and we are available by phone or email at short notice and outside of regular hours.

 

Protecting Your Financial Position: Looking For Settlement

Resorting to legal action can be risky and outcomes can be uncertain. Generally, if the value of a claim is less than £15,000, it is not cost-effective to instruct a solicitor. This is because you cannot recover your legal costs. In cases worth more than £15,000, we take all possible steps to protect your financial position, and we have an impressive track record in the cases that we handle. If dispute resolution is possible, we will guide you through the mediation process.

No-Obligation Meeting: Assessing Your Case

We offer a one-off, no-obligation assessment of your case, providing expert legal advice to all of our clients. Even if your claim is strong, we will pursue it vigorously on your behalf. If the case lacks substance, we will tell you. We will never jeopardise your financial position by pursuing a case that lacks merit. If there is uncertainty on the legal aspects of your case, we will work with a specialist barrister. From there, we can establish whether your claim is worth pursuing.

Contact Us

If you would like to discuss a potential legal claim with one of our civil litigation solicitors in London, contact us on 07736790321 or fill out the online form. Our team will be on hand to explain our Specialist Civil Litigation services in more detail.

The Essentials of Estate Planning: Crafting a Will That Protects

Van Eaton Solicitors Wins £700k Will Dispute Case | Expert Probate Lawyers

At Van Eaton Solicitors, we were recently involved in a high-value will dispute that has received media attention. The case concerned a son challenging the validity of his late mother’s £700,000 will, raising critical questions about testamentary capacity and the integrity of the will-making process. Key Evidence: The Video A pivotal piece of evidence in the case was a video presented by Lisa Baverstock herself. The footage showed Lisa placing a pen in her mother’s hand and physically guiding it to sign the will. The video revealed that Margaret Baverstock was unresponsive during the process, and her signature bore no resemblance to her genuine signature from 2017. This evidence played a crucial role in the court’s decision. The Case Background Margaret Baverstock, a 76-year-old woman suffering from advanced dementia, arthritis, and suspected lung congestion, purportedly signed a will in March 2021, just eight days before her death. The will left

Excellent legal advice

A contract dispute with a business partner, if not handled delicately, could have been disastrous. Jo not only delivered excellent legal advice - her ...calm professionalism significantly reduced the tension during negotiations. I hope I never need legal help again but if I do, Jo will be my only call.
