Commercial dispute resolution
Specialist advice on all forms of commercial dispute for public
and private sector clients, covering a broad range of owner managed
businesses, as well as blue chip and listed companies.
Commercial disputes affect virtually every kind of business
or public authority at some time. Litigation can be costly and
time-consuming, and serious cases can influence an organisation’s
ability to achieve its targets. Rapid, effective dispute resolution
is therefore necessary to avoid any negative impact on
performance.
Weightmans’ Commercial Dispute Resolution team deals with a wide
range of disputes affecting both private and public sectors. Our
clients include large UK banks, leading insurers, local government
departments, large companies and owner managed businesses.
We take a pragmatic approach and focus on the commercial
realities of every situation. In particular, we recognise that, as
a client, you are more interested in the result and financial
implications of your particular case rather than the finer details
of the legal issues involved.
Our expert lawyers have lengthy experience in contractual,
company and partnership disputes, banking litigation, minority
share actions, restraint of trade and anti-competition cases, all
types of injunctions, commercial fraud and money laundering.
We also handle IP disputes, defamation proceedings and large
debt recovery work, and we have particular strengths in insolvency,
property litigation, financial services and technology- based
disputes.
As a unit with our own business efficiency benchmarks, we
operate management systems and conduct internal audits which ensure
that all key actions are performed and all deadlines met. Our
service throughout is based on providing consistently good quality,
robust and commercial advice, communicated in plain English.
We offer very competitive rates with a wide range of funding
options, including conditional fee agreements, hybrid funding
options, capped and fixed fee packages and insurance-backed
litigation options.
"Whatever the scope of litigation, we can be confident that
