Commercial disputes are increasingly commonplace. It is essential that you seek the right legal and tactical advice as early as possible to minimise the impact to you and your business. We have experience in bringing and defending a wide variety of disputes for many different types and sizes of business. We pride ourselves on understanding what is at stake and what it takes to get the best outcome for our clients.

We will work closely with you to fully understand the issues you are facing and explore the best approaches to meet your commercial objectives. We recognise that every dispute and every business is different and each will need its own tailored solution to suit your needs.

We have experience in disputes arising out of all types of commercial activity, including:

• Sale and supply of goods and services
• Agency, distribution and franchise agreements
• Warranty and indemnity claims
• Retention of title
• Exclusion and limitation clauses
• Restrictive covenants
• Misrepresentation claims
• Breaches of trust and breaches of fiduciary duties
• Unjust enrichment, knowing reciept and dishonest assistance

Disputes are not all about the courtroom, particularly where our clients are keen to preserve a commercial relationship and/or avoid adverse PR. We therefore encourage our clients, where appropriate, to explore other quick, practical and cost-effective avenues to resolve their disputes, including mediation or other forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), and we shall guide you carefully through that process.
