Commercial Disputes & Arbitration

When a commercial relationship stops working and the documents start mattering

Most commercial disputes are won or lost on three things. What the contract says. What the correspondence shows. What was done in the first weeks after the relationship broke. The practice is built around all three.

The work

The practice conducts commercial litigation and arbitration for businesses on both sides of a dispute, claiming and defending. That includes money and performance claims under supply, distribution, construction and services contracts. It includes shareholder and joint-venture disputes. It includes urgent interim protection where assets, goods or rights are about to move.

In arbitration, the practice acts through the full sequence. Invocation notices, appointment of the tribunal, pleadings, evidence and hearing. It also handles the court proceedings that surround arbitration, from interim measures before and during, to challenges and enforcement of the award after.

How the practice approaches it

Arbitration and litigation are means, not ends. The practice begins by defining what the client actually needs, whether money, performance, an exit, or simply protection while the business continues. It then verifies the dispute clause, the limitation position and the evidentiary record before recommending a route. A claim worth filing is one that can be enforced at the end. That test is applied at the start.

Begin with the issue, not the sales pitch.

Describe the situation in general terms. The forum, the deadline, the document you have received. The practice replies with what it needs to check before anything else, and a conflict check comes before any confidential detail.

Before you write. Please do not send confidential documents, case papers or privileged detail until the practice has completed a conflict check and confirmed in writing that it can act. A first message should describe the issue in general terms only.
