Have Questions About Commercial Litigation?
We Have the Answers
Commercial litigation lawyers manage a wide range of business disputes, including contract breaches, partnership conflicts, shareholder disagreements, debt recovery, and intellectual property disputes.
Our team works to resolve issues efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
If your dispute involves significant financial risks, breaches of agreements, or escalated conflicts impacting your business, it’s time to consult a commercial litigation lawyer.
We will evaluate your case and advise you on the best course of action to protect your interests.
The cost of litigation depends on the complexity of the dispute, the resolution method (negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings), and the time required to resolve the matter.
We offer transparent pricing and flexible fee structures to suit your needs.
What should I do if my business partner breaches a contract?
If a business partner breaches your contract, it’s essential to review the agreement’s terms and seek legal advice immediately. Our commercial litigation lawyers will assess the breach, advise you on your legal rights, and guide you through options such as negotiation, mediation, or legal action to resolve the issue efficiently.
How can I recover unpaid debts from clients or suppliers?
Unpaid debts can significantly impact your business. Our team provides tailored debt recovery solutions, including formal demands, negotiation, and litigation where necessary. We act swiftly to recover funds while maintaining business relationships whenever possible.
Can I stop another party from using my intellectual property?
If someone uses your intellectual property (IP) without permission, you may seek legal remedies such as cease-and-desist orders, compensation for damages, or injunctions. Our lawyers help protect your IP rights and take decisive action against unauthorised use.
What steps should I take if I’m being sued?
If you’re facing a lawsuit, it’s crucial to act quickly. Our commercial litigation lawyers will review the claim, identify your legal defences, and develop a strategic plan to protect your business interests. Whether settling out of court or defending you in litigation, we work to achieve the best outcome.
How does mediation differ from litigation in resolving disputes?
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method where parties negotiate with the help of a neutral mediator to find a mutually agreeable solution. It’s typically faster and more cost-effective than litigation. Litigation involves taking the dispute to court, where a judge determines the outcome. We guide you on the best approach based on your situation.
What legal options do I have if a supplier delivers defective goods?
If a supplier breaches their contract by delivering defective goods, you may have grounds to seek a refund, replacement, or compensation for losses. Our team will assess your contract, negotiate on your behalf, or pursue litigation if needed to protect your business.
Can commercial litigation help resolve partnership disputes?
Yes. Partnership disputes, such as disagreements over responsibilities or profits, can harm your business. We provide strategic advice and representation to resolve conflicts through negotiation, mediation, or court action to preserve your business interests.
How can I minimise the impact of litigation on my business?
To minimise disruption, it’s important to act proactively. Engaging experienced litigation lawyers ensures disputes are handled efficiently, with solutions such as settlement negotiations, alternative dispute resolution, or court representation tailored to your goals.
