Commercial Disputes

More than any other type of litigation, commercial disputes are driven by likely costs to be incurred by both parties, so cost-benefit issues are always crucial. Our expert input can be invaluable in helping parties reach a negotiated settlement without incurring the time and cost of going to court. In dealing with commercial disputes and helping to bring about their resolution, our expertise includes:

• Breach of contract
• Shareholder and partnership disputes
• Business valuation
• Business interruption and consequential loss - including claims under insurance policies
• Lending disputes – such as fraudulent applications and false invoicing
• Professional negligence - embracing financial issues and, in the case of accountant negligence, liability implications
• Due diligence
  

In some cases, matters can be resolved by going to court or by Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including mediation and expert determination.

We adopt a tailored approach to each assignment, using our expertise and experience to identify key issues in a case, as well as ensuring that all relevant angles have been explored in detail. We can then form a truly independent and robust expert opinion comprising a fair assessment of the issues. This is presented in the form of a clear, concise report capable of withstanding rigorous scrutiny in court, in such a way as to be of invaluable assistance to them in reaching their decision.
