Civil Law Disputes

Legal problems can arise in any area of our lives. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to do, but our Dispute Management lawyers can help:

It could be that you are in dispute over a legal agreement, or a contract for the supply of goods or services. You need advice on your legal rights and someone to represent you.

Maybe you have recently sold or purchased a business, and issues have now arisen about the interpretation and enforcement of covenants, or warranties in the sale documentation. You need to know where you stand and how to protect your interests.

Perhaps you are a company shareholder and you feel that you have been disadvantaged, because the company has been run incorrectly or unfairly. You want guidance on your legal remedies and someone to take you through the process.

You may have fallen out with a business partner or fellow director over the organisation and management of a business or company. You need an expert who can handle the technical issues and help you reach a resolution quickly.

Or you may feel that you have suffered financially because of what somebody has done (or not done). You would like to know whether you have a claim, whether it is worth pursuing and, if so, how to go about it.
