Commercial Disputes
"Speak softly, and carry a big stick. You will go far."
African proverb
At ACUMEN BUSINESS LAW we fully understand how
personally stressful and commercially disruptive disputes can be.
Our initial approach is always to explore the possibility of a
negotiated settlement and, if possible, to preserve the trading
relationship with an amicable solution.
However, we are experienced and realistic enough to know that
sometimes compromise is impossible and that more formal action is
required in order to ensure that your commercial interests are
protected.
Our litigators can call on a wide range of experience in
commercial dispute resolution, acting for both claimant and
defendant even to the House of Lords and the European Court of
Justice. Their determined but sensitive approach aims to minimise
disruption to your business, whilst at the same time ensuring that
you receive robust and effective representation.
We can offer assistance in a variety of areas including:
- Contractual disputes
- Shareholder, director and partnership disputes
- Joint venture disputes
- Intellectual Property rights violations
- Injunctive relief and asset recovery
- Consumer and sale of goods disputes
- Corporate debt recovery and enforcement
- Agency and distribution agreement disputes
- Product liability
- Defamation, trade libel and malicious falsehood
- Judicial review and public law
- Professional negligence
- Construction disputes
Our collaborative approach, determination to conduct our own
advocacy where possible and transparent charging structure will
also assist in easing the way for you. In some cases we may be able
to offer you a fixed fee arrangement.
