Resolving disputes proportionately
Daniel helps individuals and businesses when disagreements arise. He works on contract disputes, unpaid debts, disagreements between business owners, and personal matters such as disputes with builders, neighbours or over an estate.
He looks first at whether a dispute can be settled through negotiation or mediation, and advises on court proceedings where that is the right route.

- Negotiation and mediation
- Pre-action correspondence
Working with Daniel
Daniel starts with a clear, honest view of the dispute: what is likely to matter, what it may cost and how long it could take. He keeps the client’s goals in focus, which often means looking for a sensible settlement rather than a fight. When a matter does need to go further, he explains each stage in advance so there are no surprises.
Daniel coaches a junior football team in Gateshead on Sunday mornings.
