We make it
easy for you
Achieving great
outcomes for clients
There is often nothing more stressful than having to face the prospect of lengthy court proceedings or complex dispute resolution processes. That’s when having an expert on your side can make all the difference.
We can help you reach a settlement, which means if you are owed money, we help you recover it. If you have been short-changed in another way, we can fight for you to receive appropriate compensation, or a resolution, to your issue.
I would recommend Gordon Legal to anyone, James and Rachel were professional, understanding and caring throughout the entire case. The best law firm I have ever used and I cannot speak highly enough of them.
We have recently been represented by Gordon Legal and in particular Principal Lawyer James Naughton in a contested planning matter. James did a great job for us on a number of levels and was professional, forensic, and focused on getting the best possible result. He was also a pleasure to deal with. Big thanks to the Gordon Legal team and to James.
