Our Business Litigation Expertise

Contractual Disputes

Contracts are at the heart of most business dealings so when they come under dispute it is important to find a quick and cost-effective resolution and to avoid similar re-occurrences.  Most contract disputes arise in connection with the sale or purchase of goods and services.  There are a variety of reasons why businesses supplying goods direct to customers or part of a supply chain could find themselves in dispute, from not being paid to products not meeting the purchaser’s requirements.  We are experienced at achieving legal but also commercially pragmatic solutions to reduce the impact on your business.  This applies to both disputes which may have already arisen and those likely to arise.

Corporate and Partnership Disputes

Internal conflicts within businesses, including corporate and partnership disputes, require strategic legal intervention.  This could be a dispute between shareholders, directors or partners and will generally stem from disagreements relating to decision-making, management, ownership and equity, or a breach of duties.  During the course of our work with you, we will review the documentation you have in place to clarify your position when reaching a resolution and can advise on suitable provisions to make for the future to avoid a similar situation arising once more, through a Shareholders Agreement, Director Agreement or Partnership Agreement.  The documents can help to clarify the roles and responsibilities of those parties involved, reducing the risk of ambiguity.  Our comprehensive support can resolve these commercial disputes, protecting your business's stability and ensuring a fair resolution for all parties involved.

Debt Recovery

Unpaid debts can severely impact your cash-flow and business operations, however chasing those payments will take up a considerable amount of your time and resource. Our Debt Recovery Solicitors are adept at crafting effective debt recovery strategies, utilising legal avenues to secure the repayment of outstanding amounts, allowing you to focus on growing your business.  Our professional yet firm approach will ensure recovery of payments while maintaining those commercial relationships to ensure the continuity for your organisation.  We will work with you throughout every stage from the Letter of Claim, negotiations, Court proceedings and enforcement.  

Enforcement for Businesses

Once a judgment has been issued for an unpaid debt, it will be important to take swift action to enforce the judgment.  We can support you in such enforcement matters whether that is through an injunction, utilising Bailiffs or High Court Enforcement Officers, or using a particular Order such as a Third Party Debt Order, Attachment of Earnings Order, Charging Order or Winding Up Order.
