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.

Whilst commercial contract claims offer a remedy if a business breaches the terms of the contract, if disputes arise regarding the actual contract itself and the terms which have been breached, the situation can soon get out of control and legal advice can be vital.

Contractual disputes can vary significantly, from minor disagreements over terms and conditions in a standard contract to a complex dispute in a more bespoke contract, so it helps to have the advice and guidance of someone experienced in dealing with these matters.

Why use Rothera Bray for Contractual Disputes?

At Rothera Bray we have a wealth of knowledge in handling contractual disputes and can provide you with support, guidance and a clear strategy to avoid the dispute escalating further.

We advise both Claimants and Defendants in a wide range of industries.

We can advise in relation to disputes with suppliers, customers or third parties.

We can help you to understand the process and the law and assist you in gathering evidence to support your claim or defence.

We can review the terms of the contract to identify the breach and assess the value of the claim.

We will work with you to decide on the best approach and course of action to take which will ultimately attempt to reach the best outcome.

Where possible we will try to prevent your dispute escalating to a courtroom setting and discuss other available options such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration.

If court proceedings are unavoidable we have significant experience in defending contractual claims within the court environment.

We can help you with:

  • Breach of contractual terms and conditions

I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for me. I don't know whether you can truly appreciate how incredibly important the success of this matter is to me. I couldn't have done this without you, and there just aren't the words to express my gratitude to you for all this. You have enabled me to have a peace of mind and you just can't put a price on that. Please tell Rebecca how absolutely thrilled to bits I am with the work you have done for me, which is beyond priceless and for which I will be forever grateful

I would highly recommend James Briggs, solicitor at Rothera Bray. He has been extremely helpful, patient and thorough whilst helping me with affairs following the death of my husband. Even during lockdown (covid) he maintained communication and kept me informed of what was happening. He successfully achieved the outcome I needed and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

We are in the middle of launching our own packaging agency and contacted Rothera Bray for some professional legal advice with regards to contracts. After an initial call with Billy, he made it clear what we needed and asked plenty of questions to understand what it was we needed. He was very responsive to our questions, whether it be over the phone or via emails and made the process really simple. We had little experience in this area so it was fantastic to work with Billy, who explained everything concisely. We were also really pleased with the quick turnaround and great value offered. Would thoroughly recommend working with Rothera Bray.

Billy understood our requirement from the get go and really nailed down on what we needed in our commercial agency agreement. Billy kept us informed every step of the way and showed great professionalism. We would recommend his services to any start-up business who is in need of legal advice and guidance with commercial contracts.

Dear Sally, I can’t thank you enough for today! You took the pressure off me and I felt so looked after and understood everything that was happening. Thank you so much!

My experience with Rothera Bray was an easy and smooth process, regarding a settlement agreement with a previous employer. They helped me understand all the legal jargon and details and made it very clear what the agreement was asking of me and what they would provide in return without it seeming complicated. They were prompt and resolved any issues or queries I had and I found them to be friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Rothera Bray to anyone seeking legal advice, even if you've had no experience with a solicitor before, as they're very welcoming and help you to understand everything.

I recently had the good fortune to engage Rothera Bray for a company sale. From start to finish, Sandeesh Samra and the team were on hand to give practical and professional advice.
