Commercial Litigation Solicitors
Resolving business disputes efficiently to minimise disruption and costs
Disputes in business can be disruptive, costly, and time-consuming. Whether it’s a disagreement between business partners, a contractual issue, or an unpaid debt, unresolved conflicts can put significant strain on your operations. Taking early action is key to achieving a positive resolution and minimising financial and reputational risks.
Our specialist dispute resolution team provides practical, strategic advice to businesses across the South East. Acting for both claimants and defendants, we work to resolve disputes efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Not all disputes need to go to trial, and we aim to help businesses reach an early resolution wherever possible. However, when court proceedings are necessary, we will be by your side every step of the way, ensuring you are fully prepared and working towards the best possible outcome.
With extensive experience in commercial transactions, our team quickly gets to the heart of disputes, identifying the most effective course of action. We have accredited mediators who can guide you through the mediation process and assess when alternative dispute resolution may be the best approach. Our first-hand knowledge of commercial environments means we understand the real-world impact of disputes, allowing us to provide pragmatic, decisive advice tailored to your business objectives. Whether you are dealing with a partnership dispute, a breach of contract, a property matter, or professional negligence, we will help you achieve a resolution that aligns with your commercial goals.

- Director disputes and breaches of director’s duties
