Commercial disputes

Commercial disputes are an inevitable part of business life and resolving these issues efficiently is fundamental to commercial success. Our team is experienced in providing practical, commercial solutions ranging from advice in the first stages of a disagreement through to court proceedings and enforcement. Alternative dispute resolution such as mediation and arbitration is also a major part of our work.
We work with a wide range of businesses from plcs, public bodies and international companies to owner-managed businesses and non-profit organisations. We offer genuine industry knowledge to clients spanning a variety of sectors.
We regularly act in significant, high value contractual disputes, negligence claims, contractual interpretation, retention of title disputes, sale of goods and services disputes, and misrepresentation claims, as well as large debt claims and insolvency-related issues.
