Legal Commentary
"Although it handles some work in the private sector, Dolmans is undoubtedly best known for its public sector work for local authorities as either claimants or respondents. As well as handling conventional cases, including allegations of disrepair and adverse possession, the firm is also picking up an increasing number of public nuisance mandates, including as these relate to flooding and Japanese knotweed infestation."
​
"Leveraging its public sector ties, developed chiefly as a result of the firm's market-leading health and safety, and defendant personal injury practices, Dolmans also handles some more conventional commercial litigation for many of the same for local authority clients. The firm also represents private sector companies in breach of contract claims through their insurers, as well as advising insurers on coverage issues."
