Litigation & Business Dispute Solicitors

Strategic Representation from a Litigation Solicitor

Our team includes litigation solicitors advising companies, shareholders and directors in complex commercial disputes. Our business dispute solicitor manages the case from pre-action stage through to trial or settlement, ensuring compliance with the Civil Procedure Rules at each step.

Commercial disputes require structured legal action. Delaying, ignoring or handling the matter without proper legal guidance can increase financial exposure and procedural risk.

We prepare formal Letters of Claim, issue proceedings in the County Court or High Court and represent clients throughout the litigation process.

Contract disputes can disrupt operations and damage commercial relationships.

We assist with:

  • Contract disputes & breach of contract claims
  • Agency & distribution disputes
  • Supply chain & commercial relationship disputes
  • Warranty & indemnity claims (post-M&A disputes)
  • Business fraud, misrepresentation & deceit claims

Our breach of contract solicitor prepares and issues formal claims where obligations have not been met. We draft Particulars of Claim, manage disclosure and conduct negotiations in accordance with pre-action protocol requirements.

As commercial litigation solicitors, we represent clients in contested hearings, summary judgment applications and interim relief proceedings.

Where the dispute involves complex commercial arrangements, our commercial dispute solicitor carefully plans the litigation strategy to protect operational continuity and financial position.

Internal disputes can threaten the company’s stability and shareholder value.

We assist with:

  • Shareholder, partnership & LLP disputes
  • Director disputes & fiduciary duty claims

Our shareholder dispute solicitor prepares unfair prejudice petitions, derivative claims and director removal proceedings where necessary.

In partnership and LLP disputes, our partnership dispute solicitor drafts and issues claims relating to breaches of agreement, profit allocation or fiduciary duties.

As corporate litigation solicitors, we also seek urgent injunctions where control of the company or assets is at risk.

Unpaid invoices and overdue debts can create serious cash flow pressure.

We assist with:

  • Recovery of unpaid invoices
  • Commercial debt recovery proceedings
  • Statutory demands
  • Enforcement proceedings

Our debt recovery solicitor prepares and sends formal pre-action letters before issuing County Court or High Court claims where payment is not received.

As a commercial debt recovery solicitor, we issue statutory demands, winding-up petitions and bankruptcy proceedings where appropriate.

Once judgment is obtained, our civil litigation solicitor prepares enforcement applications including charging orders, third-party debt orders and High Court enforcement action.

We manage the full recovery process, from demand to enforcement.

Commercial property disputes can affect business continuity and asset value.

We assist with:

  • Commercial property & lease disputes
  • Construction disputes & adjudication

Our commercial property dispute solicitor prepares claims relating to lease breaches, forfeiture issues, dilapidations and rent recovery.

In construction disputes, we draft and issue claims concerning defective works, delay and payment disputes. Where adjudication is required, we prepare submissions and represent clients throughout the adjudication process.

Where necessary, we commence litigation proceedings to enforce contractual rights.

When professional standards fail and reputations are at stake, timely legal advice becomes essential.

We assist with:

  • Professional negligence claims
  • Defamation & reputation disputes

Our commercial litigation solicitor prepares professional negligence claims against solicitors, accountants or other advisers where duty of care has been breached.

In defamation matters, we prepare formal notices and, where required, issue proceedings for damages or injunctive relief. Urgent injunction applications are prepared where reputational harm is ongoing.

Our civil litigation solicitor assesses evidence, limitation periods and procedural requirements before proceedings are issued.

Not all commercial disputes require a full trial. Negotiation, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution can often provide faster and more cost-effective outcomes.

We assist with:

  • Arbitration representation
  • Mediation representation
  • Pre-action protocol advice
  • Settlement negotiations

We prepare arbitration notices, statements of case and supporting submissions. Where mediation is appropriate, a business dispute solicitor represents clients during negotiations and drafts settlement agreements reflecting agreed terms.

If alternative resolution fails, we proceed to formal litigation without delay.

Commercial disputes require procedural discipline and strategic clarity.

Our litigation solicitors act for businesses across sectors, managing complex commercial claims from pre-action stage through to final hearing or negotiated settlement.

We do not limit our role to reviewing documents. We draft pleadings, file applications, conduct hearings and manage enforcement action where required.
