Robert Small Email & Phone Number

I am a solicitor and Head of Dispute Resolution at Downie & Gadban, with over 20 years’ experience in a wide range of civil and commercial disputes. I act for commercial and individual clients,handling disputes in the County Court, High Court, specialist tribunals such as the Land Registry Property Chamber and Arbitrations,as well as mediations and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. I have extensive experience in a wide range of business and property disputes, as well as in private disputes , so am equally at home whether advising on the wider commercial implications of a dispute or potentially sensitive private client issues. I also have niche expertise in acting for recruitment businesses and residents’ management companies for prestigious residential estates, having built up a considerable client base in those fields.A committed and incisive litigator, I take a robust approach to disputes but am also pragmatic, ensuring I never lose sight of my clients’ ultimate objectives. I explain complex legal issues and options to my clients in plain English and help them choose the right strategy to get the result they want. My successful approach to handling disputes results in most of my instructions coming from repeat clients, referrals and recommendations – including a number from former opponents.My full profile, including case examples and client testimonials, can be seen here: https://www.downieandgadban.co.uk/our-people/robert-small/

Listed skills include Commercial Litigation, Dispute Resolution, Civil Litigation, Legal Advice, and 15 others.
