Commercial litigation

We act for companies, partnerships, LLPs, regulators, public organisations and individuals. Many of our clients have experience in dealing with commercial disputes, others may not have been engaged in any form of commercial dispute before.

Whatever the size and nature of the dispute, you can be confident that it will be handled by a dedicated specialist. 

Our commercial litigation team can advise on resolving the full range of commercial disputes, whether through litigation, negotiation, or other forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation. We understand that any commercial dispute can represent a significant distraction to your day-to-day operations and pose a financial or reputational risk.

We can help you with:

• commercial contractual disputes
• commercial corporate disputes
• construction disputes
• alternative dispute resolution
• charity litigation
• disciplinary proceedings
• financial and financial services disputes
• intellectual property enforcement and dispute resolution
• insurance claims
• professional negligence
• public law
• real estate disputes
• fraud and asset tracing

We aim to build long term strategic relationships with our clients, and gain a thorough understanding of their business, culture and practices. This enables us to add value for you as by delivering tailored, proactive, responsive, commercially pragmatic and frequently imaginative advice and strategy.

We understand the importance of cost effective and timely advice. Our primary objective is to achieve the best overall outcome for you. We aim to resolve matters as quickly as possible through commercial negotiations, or alternative dispute resolution (including arbitration, adjudication and mediation).

Where alternative resolution is not possible, we’re equally comfortable taking matters to trial where we’ll robustly defend our clients’ interests.

Charges are usually based on our hourly rates plus administrative charges and disbursements. We’ll provide an initial estimate of your likely legal costs and will update this if your requirements or the circumstances of the work change.

We also have a flexible and innovative approach to litigation funding which, in appropriate cases, enables us to offer you a number of funding options tailored to your particular requirements. For further information please read our commercial litigation funding information page.
