Dispute Resolution Law

When contract disputes arise, they can disrupt operations, damage relationships, and create significant financial risks. We’ve got your back and are here to help you resolve and prevent disptues effectively, allowing you to focus on running your business. Our lawyers give opinions-based advice to help you achieve best possible outcome, rather than taking the traditional approach of just listing legal options.

We support with negotiation, mediation, adjudication and litigation, including breaches of contract and disputes over terms, issues involving delayed performance or non-payment, and more. We’re here to help minimise disruption to your business and work as an extension of your team to protect your interests

Disputes between directors, shareholders, or partners can threaten the stability of your business and its projects. These conflicts require a sensitive but decisive approach to protect both the business and your individual position. We provide practical, commercial legal support with a side of informed business advice to help you resolve disputes efficiently while minimising disruption to operations.

We can help with issues relating to breaches of fiduciary duty, minority shareholder rights, or disputes over profit distribution or governance. We can also help you to avoid disputes escalating or developing, negotiate settlements, draft bespoke agreements and represent you in litigation if it needs to come to that.

We can support you with insurance disputes involving a range of policies including property, professional indemnity, and business interruption insurance. We’ve got your back when your business is put at risk by a claim that is delayed, denied, or disputed.

We work with you to analyse your policy terms and conditions, and develop bespoke strategies to achieve a resolution through all forms of alternatives to litigation, and litigation if required.

Intellectual property (IP) is one of your business’s most valuable assets, and disputes over its ownership, use, or infringement can be seriously disruptive and de-rail plans for growth. Our lawyers can help you with trademark infringement, copyright breaches, or disputes over patents and confidential information. Our support also extends to enforcing IP rights, defending against claims, and negotiating settlements that protect your competitive position.

We work as an extension of your business, protecting your assets, and working closely with you and your leadership team to develop solid IP strategies.

Whether someone you’ve contracted has failed to meet standards or one of your own team has been accused, the consequences of professional negligence on your business can be significant, posing great reputational and financial risks.

Our team are here to help you through difficult professional negligence claims, developing a bespoke strategy for a favourable resolution that protects what matters most to you while minimising disruption.

Renewing a commercial lease requires careful negotiation to protect your business’s interests and secure terms that work for you. We work across the full lease process, supporting both landlords and tenants with extending occupancies and renegotiating key provisions.

Our support encompasses negotiating key terms pursuant to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, addressing repair obligations, as well as resolving and preventing disputes when disagreements arise. When renewal is not required we assist with termination of leases and end of term obligations.

Regulatory disputes can pose significant risks to your business, including financial penalties and reputational damage. We assist with disputes involving a wide range of regulators, including those overseeing financial services, competition law, health and safety, and environmental compliance.

We can help if you’re facing an investigation, enforcement action or a compliance challenge. We’re here to protect your business as if it were our own and will defend against the risks an allegation of a regulatory breach can bring.
