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
