Sallianne founded Southampton Row Solicitors in 2008.

She has now built up a boutique practice handling high level employment, family, and litigation matters.

The legal team at SRS pride themselves in responding quickly. Sallianne has built up strong links with local chambers, ensuring action can be taken very quickly if necessary and meetings arranged straight away to put your mind at rest.

Sallianne has over 12 years of experience of Commercial Litigation and resolving a wide range of disputes.
She has built up a strong and loyal client base and acts for several owner managed businesses. She has particular expertise in shareholders’ disputes and partnership disputes including experience in the Court of Appeal.

She has established excellent links with relevant experts and counsel for commercial matters and high profile defamation cases requiring additional PR involvement.

While technical expertise is relatively easy to come by, she recognises that a long lasting business relationship with clients is forged by adopting a versatile and common sense approach. Sallianne has a good general commercial background which helps her find both practical and creative solutions for litigation. Sallianne recognises that litigation is a last resort and she has achieved some very good results through mediation. There is no escaping that litigation is costly and can take up an enormous amount of time; time that is better spent running and building a business or getting on with other more productive matters.

It is a fact that CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) has a consistent settlement rate of 70-80% of cases that go to mediation. Sallianne can assist in getting the relevant experts on board quickly to try and achieve a settlement that offers practical solutions; solutions that a court is not always able to provide. Mediation can be a much faster and more flexible way of solving even the more intricate commercial disputes and is often misunderstood or seen as a weak commercial alternative to court by clients.
