Frequently asked
questions

What types of commercial disputes can be resolved?

Commercial disputes can arise in many different situations, including disagreements between business partners or shareholders, breaches of contract, franchising issues, professional negligence claims, or disputes involving banking and finance. Our team works with businesses and individuals across a wide range of industries to assess the situation and provide clear advice on the best way to resolve the issue.

Do I have to go to court to resolve a commercial dispute?

Not always. Many commercial disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or other forms of alternative dispute resolution. These approaches can often save time and costs while helping parties reach a practical outcome. However, if court proceedings become necessary, we will guide you through the process and represent your interests every step of the way.

How long does a commercial dispute usually take to resolve?

The timeframe for resolving a dispute can vary depending on the complexity of the matter and how willing the parties are to reach an agreement. Some disputes can be resolved relatively quickly through negotiation, while others may take longer if they progress through formal legal processes. Our focus is always on finding efficient and practical solutions wherever possible.

What should I do if a dispute arises in my business?

It’s important to seek legal advice as early as possible. Early guidance can help you understand your rights and obligations, assess your options, and potentially resolve the issue before it escalates. Addressing disputes early can often reduce costs, minimise disruption to your business, and lead to more effective outcomes.

Can you help prevent business disputes from escalating?

Yes, of course. In addition to resolving disputes, we can also provide proactive advice to help protect your business. This may include reviewing contracts, advising on legal obligations, and identifying potential risks early. Taking preventative steps can often reduce the likelihood of disputes and protect your commercial interests in the long term.
