Commercial Dispute Resolution
Commercial disputes can disrupt operations, damage business relationships and create significant financial risk. Early strategic advice can help businesses understand their position and determine the most commercially sensible way to resolve the disagreement.
We advise businesses on disputes ranging from contractual and shareholder issues to professional negligence and urgent injunctions. Our approach focuses on resolving matters efficiently while protecting your commercial objectives.
Areas of service
Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process in which an independent arbitrator determines a dispute outside the traditional court system.
We advise on arbitration agreements, prepare cases and represent businesses throughout proceedings while keeping the commercial objectives of the dispute firmly in focus.
An injunction is a court order requiring a person or business to take, or stop taking, particular action. Applications can be urgent where immediate intervention is needed to prevent harm.
We assess the circumstances quickly, advise on whether injunctive relief may be appropriate and provide representation in making or responding to applications.
Construction disputes can arise over payment, delays, defects, contractual obligations or the quality and scope of works.
We review the contractual position and evidence before advising on the most appropriate route to resolution, including negotiation, formal dispute procedures or proceedings where required.
Partnership and shareholder disputes can arise over management, ownership, profit distribution, decision-making or the future direction of a business.
We provide strategic advice aimed at protecting your legal and commercial position while exploring practical solutions that may allow the dispute to be resolved without unnecessary disruption.
Commercial contractual disputes arise where parties disagree about the interpretation, performance or breach of a business agreement.
We analyse the contract and surrounding circumstances, explain the strengths and risks of your position and pursue an appropriate resolution through negotiation or formal proceedings.
Professional negligence claims may arise where professional advice or services fall below the required standard and cause financial loss to a business.
We assess the advice, duties and losses involved before explaining the available options. Where there are grounds for a claim, we work to pursue an appropriate commercial resolution.
Director disqualification proceedings can prevent an individual from acting as a director or participating in company management for a specified period.
