Contract disputes

When contracts are breached, we analyse the details, identify the failures, and build cases that deliver results. We examine the details of your agreements, identify where obligations have not been met, and build strong cases that stand up to scrutiny. Our team handles disputes from simple breaches to complex multi-party disagreements.

Intellectual property disputes

Your intellectual property drives competitive advantage. We take decisive action against trademark infringement, copyright disputes, and patent challenges to safeguard your assets.

Debt recovery

Outstanding debts damage cash flow and operations. Our debt recovery specialists use effective strategies to recover what you’re owed, from formal demands through to Court enforcement.

Professional negligence claims

When advisors or service providers fail to meet professional standards, causing loss to your business, our professional negligence solicitors pursue compensation for losses caused by negligent advice, missed deadlines, or failures in professional duty.

Commercial property disputes

Our commercial property team handles disputes relating to commercial leases, service charges, dilapidations, and boundary issues with specialist expertise.

Supply chain and distribution disputes

From supplier failures to distribution agreement breaches, we minimise disruption while resolving disputes effectively.

Our commercial litigation process

We work efficiently and keep you informed throughout. Here’s our approach:

1. Initial consultation and case assessment: We listen, review your documentation, and provide a frank assessment of your position within 48 hours. You’ll understand your options, likely outcomes, and the most cost-effective route forward.
2. Strategic planning: We develop a clear strategy tailored to your circumstances. This includes exploring alternative dispute resolution options such as negotiation or mediation, often resolving matters faster and more cost-effectively than Court proceedings.
3. Taking action: Whether negotiating, mediating, or preparing for Court, we act decisively to protect your position. You’ll stay informed at every stage and understand the implications of each step.
4. Resolution: We pursue the best outcome for your business through settlement, mediation, arbitration, or Court judgment. Where Court action is necessary, we present compelling cases focused on your commercial objectives.
5. Post-resolution support: After resolving your dispute, we help implement agreements and provide guidance on preventing similar issues in the future.
