Disputes in business can be disruptive and costly and range from problems with employees and subcontractors to disagreements about contractual arrangements and lease obligations. A clear understanding of the issues involved, and an honest appraisal of the strength of your position, are crucial in determining how a dispute ought to be approached and in assessing the time, money and effort that should be devoted to dealing with it.
Our dispute resolution lawyers approach business disputes fully aware of commercial realities and with an appreciation that what you need is swift resolution on commercially acceptable terms and with minimal damage caused to any ongoing business relationships.
Drawing on their broad experience across a range of industries, our commercial dispute resolution solicitors can help with:
- contractual and commercial disputes;
- disputes between company shareholders and business partners;
- disputes with company directors;
- disputes with agents and distributors;
- disputes with joint venture partners;
- employment law problems;
- civil fraud cases, including those involving alleged theft by employees;
- insolvency matters, including claims of wrongful or fraudulent trading;
- claims of professional negligence against accountants, architects, lawyers surveyors and other professionals;
- infringement of intellectual property rights;
- commercial property disputes and problems between landlords and tenants;
- defamation; and

We can facilitate resolution through a range of alternative dispute resolution services, including mediation, adjudication, arbitration and expert determination.
