In addition, the team is highly skilled in all forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration. Lawyers in the team work closely with the firm's housing and commercial property departments to offer an efficient and cost-effective service.
In addition to property litigation, Trowers & Hamlins' Exeter office offers specialist legal services in real estate, housing, and construction.
