What can we help you with?

Commercial Contract Disputes
Commercial contracts are a vital component to businesses, ensuring that the rights and obligations of a business towards its customers and clients are fully recorded and the business complies with what it has promised to do.
Professional Negligence
As an individual or business it is likely there will come a time in your life when you need to instruct a professional such as an accountant, solicitor, financial advisor or architect for specialist advice.
Intellectual Property Disputes
As a creator, designer or inventor your intellectual property may be one of your greatest assets, so protecting your work is probably at the forefront of your business aims.
Debt Recovery
Unresolved debts can have a significant impact on your business, affecting your ability to pay your own suppliers and employees, potentially damaging its reputation and ultimately affecting its survival.
Bankruptcy, Insolvency and Restructuring
By taking steps and seeking legal advice early on you may be able to seek alternative measures, such as avoiding insolvency altogether, restructuring, or even commercial recoveries in a business context, to name a few.
Property Dispute Resolution
Whether you are in dispute with a neighbour over a party wall or boundary, or you are a landlord trying to recover rent from a tenant, property disputes can be stressful, sour relationships and are often not quick or easy to resolve.
Director & Shareholder Disputes
Whilst disagreements are bound to arise from time to time, if the trust between shareholders and directors breaks down and a dispute occurs it can have a massive impact on how profitable the business is as well as its ability to trade, ultimately threatening its future.
Partnership Disputes
When a dispute arises between partners, it can negatively impact the reputation and career of the partners involved, as well as having a detrimental effect on the business itself.
Landlord Services
Managing residential property matters as a landlord can be demanding work, and it is good to be aware of legislation which protects your investments, especially if you end up in a dispute with a tenant.
Fraud and Asset Recovery
Asset recovery procedures can have a significant impact whether you are the victim of or are being accused of fraud. Not only is your livelihood at stake, but so is your reputation.
Business Mediation
Mediation is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) that can be used to resolve a wide range of disputes; it is usually offered as a method once you have received independent advice from a solicitor and where both you and the other side want to find a solution to the dispute.
