Commercial disputes
Commercial contract disputes are at the heart of our litigation
and arbitration practice. They are also an inevitable feature for
virtually every business.
We provide incisive analysis, a cost-effective service and
creative but realistic solutions tailored to circumstances and
business objectives. We understand that these objectives will vary
depending upon the nature of the dispute. We ask questions such as:
Does it go to the core of your business? Is it with someone with
whom you wish to continue to have a relationship? And what
will be the cost in terms of time and money?
Our experience includes:
- mergers and acquisitions - post completion warranty and
earn out claims
- shareholder actions - unfair prejudice claims, removal of
directors and share pre-emption disputes
- joint ventures and distribution agreements - deadlocked
companies, exit strategies and termination
- directors - claims against directors for fraud, breach of
duty, negligence and disqualification
- fraud and asset tracing - freezing orders, asset seizure
and compulsory information disclosure
- payment for goods or services - disputes regarding
ownership, recovery of property and non payment
