How our litigation lawyers in London can resolve commercial disputes in the right way for businesses
1
Clear guidance on legal positions and options
Whatever the nature of a commercial dispute, our litigation experts can quickly and efficiently review the situation and provide clarity over a firm’s legal position. We can then discuss the various options available to work towards achieving a positive outcome.
2
Seeking an early resolution
The first step in seeking a resolution is to inform the other party of our client’s position, with reference to any relevant contracts or agreements and legislation and the outcome sought. Our commercial dispute resolution solicitors can draft a firm ‘letter before action’ setting out these details and what steps will be taken should a satisfactory conclusion not be reached amicably.
In many cases, this is all that is needed to secure an early resolution for a wide range of commercial disputes.
3
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Where there is the need for negotiation and compromise to achieve an amicable solution, we can offer a number of highly effective methods for resolving business disputes without the need for court proceedings.
These options include negotiation, commercial mediation and arbitration, all of which can be much faster, less costly and less acrimonious than taking matters to court, as well as keeping the details of a dispute private.

Court litigation
While seeking an amicable solution out-of-court is generally our first approach, please be assured that our team will never back down from a fight where this is the right way forward.
If court proceedings are necessary, we use our extensive advocacy skills to tirelessly fight for our clients’ positions. Our commercial litigation solicitors have very strong court experience, having represented clients all the way up to the Supreme Court in the past with an excellent track record of success.
