Disputes arise in many forms — contract breakdowns, debt collections, tenancy conflicts, property disputes, insolvency issues, commercial disagreements or urgent enforcement matters. Many law firms treat these on a case-by-case basis. At Knights & Shah Solicitors, this is our daily work.
We combine deep legal knowledge, courtroom experience, strong procedural discipline and a strategic mindset to deliver results. Whether your matter involves civil, commercial, property or corporate litigation — we offer clear advice, robust representation and a results-focused approach.
We act for: individuals, landlords, tenants, property owners, small businesses, corporate entities, investors, directors and professionals — all across England & Wales.
Civil & Commercial Litigation
We represent clients in:
Contract disputes: breach, non-performance, termination issues
Debt and money claims: unpaid invoices, commercial debts, loan recovery
Misrepresentation and business disputes: wrongful conduct, misleading agreements, business negligence
Professional negligence: claims against surveyors, accountants, brokers, professionals
Supplier and service disputes: defective performance, non-delivery, faulty workmanship

Our approach ensures you have strong pleadings, clear evidence, proper pre-action compliance and a robust strategy from day one.
We handle every form of landlord-tenant dispute outside of housing disrepair, including:
Unlawful eviction and landlord harassment cases
Rent arrears litigation and debt recovery
Breach of tenancy agreements: subletting issues, unauthorized use, license breaches
Injunctions for access or to restrain unlawful eviction or harassment
Claims for damages where tenancy breaches or improper conduct have occurred
We support landlords, agents, tenants and occupiers — ensuring correct procedure, notice compliance and fair but firm legal representation.
When disputes require immediate intervention before a full trial we act fast. Our team prepares and issues urgent applications such as:
Emergency injunctions (prohibitory or mandatory) to prevent immediate harm or unlawful acts
Interim injunctions to preserve assets, rights or evidence
Interim possession or access orders where necessary
Freezing orders or enforcement stays to stop asset dissipation or unlawful enforcement
Our urgent litigation service is built around responsiveness, precision and a deep understanding of interim court procedure.
Winning a judgment is only half the battle. Enforcing it effectively requires skill, strategy and persistence. We manage every step:
High Court and County Court enforcement — writs of control, warrants, bailiff action
Debt recovery via third-party debt orders, charging orders, attachment of earnings
Asset tracing, debtor questioning orders, and enforcement against companies or directors
Post-judgment litigation: variation of orders, appeals, enforcement reviews, cost recovery
We convert judgments into real recovery — even against evasive or difficult debtors.
Complex disputes often involve insolvency, winding-up proceedings or corporate liability issues. We handle:
Statutory demands and insolvency petitions
Bankruptcy and winding-up claims
Director and shareholder liability, wrongful trading and director misconduct claims
Complex commercial disputes involving multiple parties, cross-company liability or restructuring risks
Our specialist team integrates corporate law, litigation strategy and recovery tactics to handle high-risk, high-stake matters.
Land, property and ownership disputes require precision and knowledge of property law. We act in:
Boundary disputes and rights of way claims
Adverse possession cases
Restrictive covenant and easement disputes
Party wall matters, trespass and property damage claims
Disputes between co-owners, leaseholders and freeholders
We build factual and legal cases grounded in documentary evidence, land registry checks, surveys and statutory compliance.

Do all disputes go to court?
No. Many can be resolved via negotiation, pre-action letters or settlement offers. We always assess whether litigation is necessary we only go to court when it makes sense.
How fast can urgent applications be handled?
We prioritise urgent cases. In many situations, applications (injunctions, stays, freezing orders) can be filed and listed within days.
Can you help if the opponent is a company or director?
Yes. We are experienced in corporate litigation, director liability, insolvency claims and enforcement against companies and individuals.
Is enforcement guaranteed after judgment?
No, enforcement depends on debtor assets, financial status and compliance. We conduct asset tracing and financial analysis before recommending enforcement.
Do you handle landlord-tenant cases for both landlords and tenants?
Yes. We represent both. Whether you are a landlord seeking eviction or rent recovery, or a tenant defending rights or raising disputes, we offer strategic advice and representation.
