Commercial Disputes

This is the use of court procedures to resolve any commercial disputes. It is worth noting that in any potential commercial dispute, the parties should adopt the 'pre-action protocols' which are a set of principles aimed to encourage settlement without the need to go to court, an early exchange of information so the dispute is fully understood and to ensure that if a case is progressed, it can be dealt with expeditiously. If you feel you have a potential commercial dispute it is worth considering these points prior to thinking of court procedures.

Once you have attempted these protocols, it may be that you have to instruct a solicitor to resolve your dispute and it is essential to find the right solicitor so your business is not harmed as a result of the dispute. Compare quality ratings, price and distance from your post code to find the right solicitor depending on what is important to you.

When considering what solicitor to contact, bear in mind that a good commercial solicitor understands your business first so the advice given is proactive and commercially minded. Previous case studies are an excellent way of viewing how a solicitor deals with similar cases and whether this would be appropriate action for your business.

Civil Disputes

 A civil dispute is anything that involves non - criminal behaviour. Civil disputes can range from debt issues to contract disputes to actions against companies.
