Litigation & Dispute Solicitors in Wales & England
At HCB Widdows Mason, our litigation solicitors
help people and businesses resolve disputes
in a clear and practical way.
We understand that legal disputes can feel overwhelming and stressful. They can affect your work, your finances and your peace of mind.
Our litigation solicitors will guide you through the process step by step. We explain your options in plain English and help you make informed decisions. We always look for the most effective solution for your situation.
Some disputes can be settled through discussion and agreement. Others need a strong and firm approach. Our team has the experience to handle both. We focus on achieving fair outcomes while keeping matters as straightforward as possible.
From your first contact with us, you will receive personal support and honest advice. Our aim is to protect your interests and help you move forward with confidence.
Our Litigation Services
Contract Disputes
Contracts are part of everyday life for both people and businesses. Problems can arise when one party does not do what they agreed to do. This may involve late payment, poor work or a complete failure to carry out the contract.
We help you understand what the contract means and what your rights are. We will explain whether the agreement has been broken and what can be done about it.
Our team will aim to resolve the problem quickly and fairly. This may be through discussion or written agreement. If court action is needed, we will prepare your case carefully and represent you with confidence.
Debt Recovery
If someone owes you money and refuses to pay, this can cause stress and financial difficulty. We help individuals and businesses recover unpaid debts in a clear and structured way.
We will review your situation and advise on the best next step. This may involve sending a formal demand for payment, negotiating a payment plan or starting court proceedings.
Our aim is to recover what you are owed while keeping costs and delays to a minimum. We will keep you informed at every stage and explain each step in plain English.
Property Disputes
Property disputes can involve homes, land or business premises. These issues can be upsetting and difficult to resolve without legal support.
We advise on disputes between landlords and tenants, boundary disagreements, damage to property and breaches of lease terms. We also help with disputes between neighbours and joint owners.
We work to protect your property rights and find a practical solution. Where possible, we try to settle matters without court. If this is not possible, we will act firmly on your behalf.
Professional Negligence
When you rely on a professional, you expect a proper standard of service. If a solicitor, accountant or surveyor makes a serious mistake, this can lead to financial loss or other problems.
We will assess whether the service you received fell below an acceptable standard. We will explain whether you may be able to claim compensation.
If you have a valid claim, we will guide you through the process and deal with the other party on your behalf. Our aim is to secure a fair outcome and reduce the stress of the situation.
Business Disputes
Business disputes can affect your income, reputation and future plans. These disputes can arise between partners, directors, suppliers or customers.
We help with disagreements over contracts, unpaid invoices and business relationships. We also advise on disputes involving ownership, control and responsibility within a business.
Our team understands the need for quick and practical solutions. We focus on protecting your business and helping you continue trading with confidence.
Disputes Between Individuals
Disputes can arise between neighbours, family members or former partners. These cases can be emotional and personal.
We take a calm and respectful approach. We will listen to your concerns and explain your options clearly. Our aim is to resolve the dispute while keeping conflict as low as possible.
Where agreement can be reached, we will help put this in writing. If court action is needed, we will prepare your case with care and sensitivity.
Contentious Probate
Contentious probate involves disputes about a will or an estate after someone has died. These matters are often sensitive and can affect family relationships.
We advise on challenges to the validity of a will, disagreements over how an estate should be shared and claims for financial support from an estate. We also help where there are concerns about how an executor is managing the estate.
We understand how difficult these situations can be. Our team will treat your case with care and discretion. We aim to resolve disputes fairly while respecting the wishes of the deceased and the needs of those involved.
Costs and Fees
We give clear cost estimates from the start. You will know what to expect and what your options are.
Costs can include court fees, expert reports and barristers if needed. We will always discuss this with you before any work begins.

We were recommended to Ed Duff and HCB by another family he had helped and the team more than lived up to the recommendation. We’d had a SENDIST appeal underway for many months but as the tribunal date drew closer I began to feel out of my depth and decided to look for professional help. Ed reviewed our case quickly, saw exactly what needed to happen and helped us to secure the school placement our daughter needed all within a matter of days. We cannot thank him enough for his expertise and professionalism which has transformed our family as my daughter is now thriving in the right school setting.

We worked with Emma and Rhiana in Swansea, on the purchase of our first home. They were efficient, thorough and supported us through. This was our first experience purchasing a property, they answered all our questions, kept us up to date on every step of the process and was very accommodating and understanding. Would highly recommend, felt a personable experience and can't thank them enough!

I reached out to this firm with concerns over my son experiencing discrimination in his post 16 setting. The support I received was excellent from the regular email contact and phone calls updating me at each step of the process. They were very knowledgeable in the area of ALN and discrimination where they were able to explain the decisions made at each step of the way which made understanding the outcome a lot easier. Thank you for all your support Robert and Maria!

Working with Emma and Rhiana at HCB has been such a pleasure. They have made my sale and purchase smooth and stress free every step of the way.
Everything was clearly explained and they contacted me regularly to keep me updated. They were professional, efficient and friendly throughout. They also got back to me very quickly whenever I had a question or needed something clarifying.
Thank you so much for your help - I say this nursing a lovely cup of coffee in my beautiful new home

HCB Widdows Mason were recommended for my house purchase. They dealt with everything quickly and efficiently, they (Tracy, Bronwen & Ffion) minimised my stress with good communication, answering my many questions which I've been extremely grateful for as doing all myself. I cannot believe that I am getting my keys next week, 4 weeks after reservation. I would highly recommend HCB Widdows Mason.

Incredibly helpful and informative service provided by Ed Duff. It was clear that we were unable to work with our LA to resolve issues and concerns ourselves regarding our sons EHCP and secondary school placement. We reached out to Ed for advice following recommendation. It was the best decision we made, we instructed Ed to act on our behalf as we knew this gave our son the best shot and the outcome was the decision that we wanted.

Fantastic experience entrusting HCB Solicitors with the sale of my property. Natalie, Abigail, and Sarah were all brilliant to deal with, and communication was exceptional — nothing was too much trouble.
I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone needing conveyancing services.

We worked with Stephanie & Andrew at HCB Cardiff to secure our son an EHCP and a place at a specialist independent school. We couldn't have done this without their unwavering support and I would recommend to any family with a SEND child looking to get the school setting they most desperately need. Thank you so much for helping us and especially in our tribunal hearing. We will always be grateful.

We chose HCB solicitors to be our conveyancer when buying our first home. Daniel, Kieron and Kathy were professional and friendly throughout and made the daunting process of buying our first home simple. They walked us through every step of the process clearly and we're always available to answer any questions. I would recommend HCB solicitors to other homebuyers and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive during what could have been a very stressful process. Natalie took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Nothing ever felt rushed or brushed aside — I genuinely felt listened to and well looked after.

I highly recommend Emma and her team to anyone looking for reliable and outstanding legal support.

A huge thank you to Saskia, Rob, Luke and all the team who have assisted us on our journey.
A special mention to Saskia who has in my opinion nerves of steel. She has delivered a very efficient and professional service throughout. Her knowledge in educational law is second to none.
I'm so thankful that our case reached the outcome we were so hoping for and not having to attend the tribunal.
I would highly recommend Saskia and the team and would not hesitate in contacting them again should the need arise.
Best wishes

I had a wonderful experience with HCB Solicitors for the sale of my first property. Callum and the team handled everything so efficiently and made the whole process completely stress free, even managing to finalise documents and complete while I was away! Everything was done so quickly despite the busy festive period and I always felt well informed throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

As a team, Kelsey, Daniel and in particular Danielle were very professional, clear and concise throughout my whole experience. I found this experience particularly challenging as I was buying a new property on my own for the first time. I was offered the best advice which gave me confidence and clarity in the process. I would wholeheartedly recommend HCB to any of my friends or colleagues.

Emma & Rhiana at HCB were Immense in both our Sale & House Purchase. Customer service is lacking with most solicitors but these two working on our cases were superb. Always happy to pick up a call. Persistent as you would like them to be and no time wasting. Thank you for all the hard work. I'd recommend HCB to anybody looking for a conveyancer.
