Contractual Disputes

 

Contract disputes are the most common form of claims through the Courts. Agreements whether in writing or verbal, commercial or between private individuals, are entered into on a daily basis. Commercial contractual disputes are unfortunately a fact of business life and if they not managed properly can very quickly escalate into a major drain on your management time and cashflow.

Disputes can be on many levels including whether there is a contract, the precise terms of the contract, has there been a breach of the terms and if so what remedies are available. The primary aim of any dispute is to achieve a satisfactory commercial outcome. We temper any advice and recommendation with a commercial realism – what can be realistically achieved and at what cost.

Our team has a broad range of experience in working with and advising clients prior to the issue of proceedings so as to maximise the chances of resolving disputes without the the time and expense of litigation. If settlement is not possible, our team is equally well-versed and experienced in managing the legal process itself and pursuing and defending claims through to trial.
