Commercial Disputes and Litigation
If your business is a large one then you’re probably involved in more transactions than most, and that means statistically you can probably expect to face disputes with more frequency than other smaller businesses. We are very experienced at working with management and commercial teams handling all types of claims, whether they are from consumers or against other businesses. We can also assist in establishing systems to manage disputes and claims so that the prospects of achieving the best results are built in right from the outset.
SMEs and owner managed businesses make up the overwhelming majority of trading entities in the economy, and inevitably, therefore, most Commercial Disputes involve at least one party from this sector. Substantial or repetitive disputes can comprise a threat to the prosperity, or even the existence, of such businesses. Identifying the potential for a dispute to arise, and managing it effectively when it does, is critically important. Likewise, when resources are stretched, it is important to have the right legal support on hand whenever you need it, and to maintain complete control of budgets. We are very experienced in helping businesses to do this.
We are very experienced in all courts and tribunals within our own jurisdiction and can handle litigation overseas as well. However, most claims can be resolved without the need to go to trial. It may be possible to avoid having to issue legal proceedings at all, though we are immediately ready, willing and able to do so whenever required. In many cases it will be better for disputing parties to seek an outcome outside the court process, using “alternative dispute resolution” mechanisms such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, adjudication or expert determination.
We have extensive experience of all of these processes, which are frequently combined to help us to achieve the best, most cost-effective results for our clients.
