Contractual, Corporate & Commercial Disputes

A commercial disagreement can affect payments, ongoing operations and an important business relationship. We advise and represent clients in disputes arising from contracts, corporate arrangements and commercial transactions, including disagreements over performance, payment, termination, warranties, obligations between business parties and the meaning of agreed terms.

• Who do we represent: We begin by examining the documents and the sequence of events. The written agreement is important, but so are amendments, correspondence, invoices, meeting records and the parties’ conduct. These materials help establish what was promised, what happened and what remedy may be available. We then advise on the merits of the position, the evidence required and the commercial consequences of the available options.

• Not every dispute needs to proceed to trial: Where appropriate, we help clients pursue an early resolution through correspondence, negotiation or mediation. When formal proceedings are necessary, we prepare and conduct the matter through the relevant court or agreed dispute resolution process. We also assist clients responding to claims brought against them. Throughout, we focus on advice that is legally sound and practical for the business decision at hand.
