Business Dispute Lawyers
Business disagreements, misunderstandings and mistakes happen – whether through deliberate or unintentional actions.
Feelings run high, and the stakes can be higher. Whether it’s a large commercial case, an employee issue, a debt, a work dispute with a client or supplier, or a row with a tenant – our first resort is always to aim for a resolution through skilled negotiation. But when the only option is to ask the courts to determine the matter, our trained litigators will advise and act to secure the best outcome for you/your business.
Quick and cost-effective resolutions to your business dispute
We are confident of our ability to resolve your business disputes quickly and efficiently enabling you to focus on running your business without incurring huge costs in the process.
We offer you tangible, honest, expert advice tailored to your situation. We will tell you what your options are and the best course of action. We will never ignore the possibilities of settlement, even if proceedings have been issued.
Other ways we can help disputes professionally
We can help you claim costs for intellectual property infringement, landlord/tenant cases, recovery of commercial debt and much more. In particularly complex cases we may seek specialist advice from barristers but we will estimate costs to keep you fully informed at all times.
Commercial disputes with negotiation and mediation can be resolved within a few weeks, whereas arbitration can take several months or complex litigation can take years.
Costs vary significantly. Negotiation is the least expensive, followed by mediation and arbitration. Litigation is the most costly due to legal and court costs.
The first step is to review the contract carefully to confirm the breach. We can then advise you on your options which include negotiating a resolution, pursuing compensation or taking legal action.
Yes, settlement is possible at any stage of the process, even after court proceedings have been issued.
Some methods, like litigation can proceed without mutual agreement. Others, like mediation or negotiation, require both parties to engage as they are completely voluntary.
