Guy Williams Layton is the successful union of several highly respected firms that have been providing legal services throughout the North West for many years. We currently have offices in Liverpool City Centre and at Heswall on the Wirral.
We firmly believe that our size allows us to be small enough to really care about our clients and our service but large enough to offer high quality legal advice and support.
We are committed to adapting to the changing needs of the legal market whilst preserving the best aspects of true personal service. To ensure that we are in the best position to do this we invest substantial resources in the effective use of technology.
We are proud of the fact that in spite of the economic and social challenges that have affected the UK over recent years, we have retained the continuing loyalty of our clients and colleagues. This gives us the stability and confidence to continue working with our clients to achieve their aims, whether business or personal, and to pursue our own quest for excellence in all we do.

Our philosophy in any dispute is to:-
Dispute resolution can be as informal as without prejudice discussions, correspondence or meetings. However, if that does not achieve a satisfactory outcome, the three most common options are as follows:-
Mediation
The parties attend a meeting where the mediator helps each side to clarify and understand the issues on both sides and tries to broker a mutually satisfactory solution. The mediator does not judge or arbitrate on the issues but will try to guide the parties to avoid unreasonable viewpoints or objections. The Courts now expect all parties to seriously consider mediation before and during Court proceedings.
Arbitration
Sometimes a contract can impose a duty on the parties to resolve any dispute by way of arbitration. Otherwise, the parties can agree voluntarily to arbitrate. This may be quicker and cheaper than Court proceedings but the main advantage is usually that the arbitrator has direct and extensive experience and knowledge of the area of business from which the dispute arises.
Litigation
Court proceedings should in most cases be a last resort as they can be extremely costly both in terms of time and money and carry a risk of having to pay the costs of the winning party. However, if it is necessary to take a matter to Court we are always conscious of the need to employ every possible procedure to achieve as rapid and cost effective solution as possible.
We have many years of experience in dealing with civil and commercial litigation at all levels.
