Commercial Disputes Articles and News
Commercial disputes can arise between companies, or between individuals and a business, for many different reasons. Often, one party will have breached their obligations to the other under the terms of a contract, or the members of a business have fallen out about the direction the business is taking, or about how much time each of them spends working. In some cases, commercial relationships are destroyed by this type of dispute, and you will need advice about how to remove yourself, or someone else, from your business, and recover your losses. In other cases, you will want to preserve your relationships with your business partners or clients. Either way, we have the expertise to help you, having dealt with different types of commercial disputes for clients both in the South West and throughout the country, for many decades.
