Every business enters into contracts, and some proceed more easily than others. It’s an unfortunate fact that occasionally there are some contracts which don’t quite go as planned.

Defaults or disagreement about the underlying terms and common causes which may require eventual litigation if no resolution can be found.

We understand that you may strongly prefer to try and resolve matters amicably, especially if you are trying to preserve the working relationship. We can offer mediation and negotiation to try and achieve a mutually acceptable resolution to the dispute.

There are many different types of commercial disputes that can arise. Some of the most common types we deal with include:

• Warranty disputes
• Contractual disputes
• Privacy law and defamation
• Construction disputes
• Asset recovery and civil fraud claims
• Insurance disputes
• Insolvency
• Intellectual property
• Commercial agency
• Commercial debt collection
• Professional indemnity
• Negligence
• Landlord and tenant disputes
• Financial services disputes
• Breach of directors’ duties
• Partnership and shareholder disputes

No-one wants the case to proceed to litigation as it’s an outcome which is likely to be time-consuming and expensive. There is a real focus on case preparation and management in modern litigation and we can help to devise a winning strategy which takes advantage of the new system.

We approach every litigation case individually and will draw up an individual plan which highlights the strengths of your claim. Our in-depth and expert understanding of the nature of commercial contracts means we can help you to achieve a realistic and smart outcome.

We have a proven track record in all aspects of commercial disputes, and have been successful in dealing with high value cases. No matter whether your case is large or small, we can assist you in achieving the outcome you deserve.

Many ask us ‘what’s different about you?’ and we like to reply, ‘because we go the extra mile’. We see our work as building and maintaining good business relationships rather than just earning fees. How we do this is by keeping in constant contact with our clients and intermediaries. From pre to post instruction we ensure that our clients are informed of all legal issues that may impact their business and therefore lives. That is why we provide daily or weekly updates to ALL of our clients whether there is anything to tell them or not (we don’t charge for this we just see it as part of our service). We like our clients to rest peacefully knowing that when we are instructed, and we say ‘we will take it from here’ they know we mean it.

The world is changing, and many individuals are realising that lifestyle is as vital to them as is income. We are the lucky ones who can hand pick lawyers who can provide the best quality advice but at outer city costs. Our offices are in North West London which may not be the most salubrious in the market but at the same time this allows us to charge our clients for what they pay for, our advice NOT our office space.

ALL our lawyers have previously worked in large city-based law firms and continue to practise and offer  the same high level service  they provided to clients in the City but without the pressure and demands often dictated by City law firm. This allows us to be competitive on our fees without compromising our service.

All in all, our clients win, which is the way we like it.

All our clients benefit from the same high level of care and attention whether the instruction is big or small. At the outset of each matter, we discuss the entire process with our clients, including the costs, potential outcomes and issues associated. This is to ensure clients are fully aware, knowledgeable and are in control always. Supporting and ensuring we provide the highest level of services, we offer our constant contact process with the partner or barrister leading  your file, a document log in for matters which are for larger and more complicated instructions and on-going support post transaction should our clients require it. Our aim is not just to get the work done, but to make our clients’ lives easier as we do it, which is why we ensure that our clients have regular access to the resources they need from us.
