Litigation, Dispute Resolution and Employment Law
Litigation & Disputes
At Stock Fraser Cukier we have a very experienced litigation team who deal with a broad range of disputes.
Wherever possible we will seek to settle disputes by negotiation and we are known as tough negotiators.
In many cases we will use alternative dispute resolution (ADR) such as mediation or arbitration which are less adversarial and often more cost effective than going to court.
There are occasions, however when there is no choice but to seek justice through the court system and in these circumstances our Litigation Team will provide a robust and efficient presentation of your case.
Above all our team will listen to you and will work with you in a friendly and professional manner to get the best results for you. We aim to offer high quality legal service and will work hard to ensure that there is regular communication with you to ensure you are kept well informed about the progress of your case.
Contact us to help you with:
- landlord and tenant disputes
- boundary and property disagreements
- confilicts with retailers, suppliers or service providers
- problems with contracts (employment and others)
- claims on the estates of someone who has passed away
- intellectual property disputes

Employment
Employment law is a potential minefield for the inexperienced and uninitiated. It is one area of law that seems to be in a constant state of flux. As employees become more aware of their rights and become increasingly prepared to seek legal redress, it is vital that employers stay abreast of developments.
With the upper limits of some awards now raised to more than £63,000 (with some unlimited), employers need to be fully and properly advised about relevant law and procedures.
Our Employment Team provides practical advice on all employment law issues including :-
- Contracts of employment
- Disciplinary action and grievance procedures
- Discrimination for sex, race, disability
- Employment Tribunals
- Maternity leave
- Paternity leave
- Redundancy and dismissal
- Restrictive covenants
- Service agreements
- Transfer regulations including indemnities and warranties
- Unfair dismissal
- Whistle blowing
- Wrongful dismissal and breach of contract
Our Employment Team can apply their extensive knowledge, skills and experience to help resolve the specific issues which you are facing and provide as much or as little help as you require. We recognise that there are various complexities in any employment situation and will analyse the issues and make suitable recommendations to you.
