Commercial litigation disputes

• Supplying goods and services is another area of commercial litigation that you may need assistance with. For example, if a company you’ve supplied has a quality issue relating to your goods and is refusing to pay and you refute their claim, a stalemate could arise and last for months if you’re not prepared to seek help from a reputable legal practice.

• Partnership disputes can make running a successful business almost impossible. If you have a disagreement with your partner or partners about any aspect of the business whether it be financial, operational or related to contracts, contacting a law firm can often be the best way to resolve the conflict and reach a speedy and satisfactory resolution for all concerned.

• Worldwide commercial litigation can be a bit of a minefield. If you have a dispute with a customer in China and you’re based in the UK then you’ll need the right advice to ascertain which country to raise any actions in and which laws and regulations apply to the situation. Given the global marketplace many companies now operate in, international commercial litigation is an area for which demand will continue to grow.

• Insolvency may affect your business in one of two ways. Either your company is owed money by an insolvent debtor or your own firm is facing up to insolvency. Your solicitor will be able to provide you with professional advice covering administration, receivership, liquidation, Company Voluntary Arrangements and even bankruptcy if that’s a suitable option.

• Tax matters have the potential to cast a shadow over the day-to-day running of your business. You may be involved in a dispute with HM Revenue & Customs over your tax bill or have a professional negligence claim you wish to pursue regarding tax advice you received from a firm

• Fraud is something that affects a large number of companies in the UK. It could come from your employees, customer, suppliers or other directors within your business. If you suspect any fraudulent activity is going on then you should act immediately and have it looked into.
