Resolving disputes

Virtually all businesses will need to resolve disputes of some nature from time to time.

They may be perceived as a minor irritation but in more serious cases they can severely disrupt cash flow, the ability to win future contracts and affect the reputation of your business within the wider business community.

Our dedicated team provide realistic advice on the options available to resolve the matter; via mediation, arbitration, negotiation or litigation. We then pursue the appropriate course of action to resolve the dispute in the most cost-effective way. Wherever possible, we avoid the disruption and costs of litigation by encouraging parties to mediate or negotiate a settlement before the case reaches court.

We aim to resolve your disputes and bring them to a successful conclusion but, when required, our services extend to providing full representation in the courts, at tribunals, inquiries (including public inquiries) and arbitration hearings.

Partnership disputes

We can assist with disputes in partnerships with or without a formal written partnership agreement. We can review the Partnership Deeds to examine the terms originally agreed and any subsequently amendments, before providing advice on the most practical way forward to deal with any dispute.

Where the Partnership dispute cannot be resolved we can provide assistance to dissolve the partnership without involving court action.
