Contract disputes can impact all aspects of your business, from key technology to HR. Our commercial litigation lawyers can help you resolve these disputes, review new or existing contracts for risk, and advise on how to prevent future disputes happening.

It’s important to find quick resolutions to any dispute to avoid any disruption to your operations. With our breadth of specific market expertise and experience, we’re able to quickly understand your business and to find solutions.

Our lawyers take a pragmatic and commercial approach to contract disputes. This approach can be helpful in helping you to maintain important relationships and to protect your reputation. Often this means aiming to resolve your dispute through alternative dispute resolution – negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. However, if a dispute needs to go to court, you’ll have the full support of our experienced contract disputes lawyers throughout.

We’re creative problem-solvers and you’ll get innovative strategies that balance risk management with practical commercial considerations. In many cases we can share the risk and cost of resolving your dispute with you, through our flexible funding options.

Civil Dispute Resolution Options:

1. Alternative Dispute Resolution

Wherever possible, we recommend using a method of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) before taking the matter to court. There are several alternative dispute resolution methods that can be used, including round table negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration.

If you can prevent a lengthy and complex trial proceeding or save yourself the hassle of filling out the court forms needed to commence a civil suit, that is always preferable –and will save you time and money.

2. Civil Litigation

If ADR is not possible or is unsuccessful, we may have to bring a civil claim through the court system to resolve the dispute. The litigation process isn’t quick or straightforward, but contrary to popular belief, not all cases end up at trial.
