Chapmans has acted for thousands of clients over their 50 year history both those bringing or defending a claim and has recovered many hundreds of thousands of pounds in damages for successful Claimants. We act for people in a wide variety of Civil Litigation including contract disputes, professional negligence and contentious probate cases.
In personal injury actions we see our objective not only to recover the most we possibly can for the victim or his or her family, but to assist them in their recovery. Although the compensation will never make up for the loss of a child or partner, a limb or quality of life, choose the right Solicitor and the process of claiming compensation can be made less painful and can perhaps help those involved on the road towards some form of rehabilitation.
We act for landlords and tenants in a wide variety of tenancy disputes including the acquisition of a freehold or the extension of a lease for a tenant or a group of tenants, the recovery of possession for both residential and commercial landlords and on commercial leases for both tenants and landlords regarding dilapidations and the renewal of a lease.
The Partner, in charge of this department, Andrew Findlay, has for 18 years represented clients in many different types of litigation, although he has particular experience of acting in acident cases involving bereavement or injuries that have had a catastrophic impact on a victim's life and their family.
