We don’t just look after you, we look out for you. That means we bring you insights, advice and keep you up to date on all kinds of legal matters so you can keep ahead.
We match a member of the team with the right expertise to every client, who will invest time getting to know you, who will look after your interests and ensure you have access to the whole firm when you need it.
The legal and financial matters might be complex, but we aim to keep things straightforward and explain everything in terms that are relevant to you.
At some point, we’ve all had to return things that didn’t work properly. You hunt for the receipt and then take it back to the shop to do battle. Or, you phone customer services and pick your way through an automated phone system – only to be told there’s nothing to be done because ‘it’s outside the warranty’.
If this sounds familiar, talk to Tees. Our consumer litigation team are experts in consumer law – and we’re here to help. We’ll explain your legal position, and help you find a solution. Our dedicated team have helped many people resolve disputes over faulty goods or services, so you can trust us to secure the best possible outcome for you.
The litigation team at Tees is highly experienced in taking up consumer cases with a variety of businesses. Whatever your situation, we have the legal expertise and practical insight to get you through it. We’re very successful at getting results for our customers too! From fitted kitchens to new and used cars, if you haven’t got what you paid for, we can help to sort it out.
At Tees, we don’t believe anyone should have to put up with faulty goods or sub-standard work. So when you come to us for help, we’ll listen carefully to what’s happened and we’ll give you straightforward advice about how to move forward.
If you want us to, we’ll take up your case with the people or company that sold you the faulty goods or provided a poor service. Often, being contacted by a solicitor does the trick because companies know how determined our solicitors are. But if it doesn’t, we’ll take appropriate legal action on your behalf to get a satisfactory outcome for you.
If you’d like to meet one of our experts for a confidential, no obligation chat, please get in touch.
We have offices across Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire, but we can help you wherever you are in England and Wales.

Very professional and well-organised team. Timely communication of case developments and considerations, and excellent availability of associates.
