Commercial Dispute Resolution

In a climate of economic uncertainty, businesses are ever more likely to be involved in commercial disputes.

Commercial disputes are expensive, time consuming and complex. To avoid the innumerable pitfalls that accompany a commercial dispute, it is important to obtain sound legal advice.

What is a Commercial Dispute?

Commercial disputes generally include disputes between businesses and either individuals or other businesses.

Businesses can become embroiled in a wide range of disputes. A business could find itself in a contractual disputes with a key client or supplier. There are often internal disputes between shareholders and directors. A business could be the subject of poor commercial or legal advice from a trusted advisor.

The common theme between these disputes is the potential for immense financial and reputational damage. Jumping into a commercial dispute without the proper legal advice risks irreversible damage to a business.

How can a business best resolve a Commercial Dispute?

The best way to resolve a dispute is quickly and at minimal cost. At the outset of a dispute, a business should understand its legal and commercial position, and crucially that these positions don’t always overlap. Another party to a dispute may be a key client, whose ongoing business is paramount to the success of a business. In such circumstances, a protracted dispute can do more harm than good. The best strategy for achieving a good resolution to a dispute is for a business to gather all the relevant information, consider its objectives, and take legal advice.
