Commercial and contractual disputes

Being involved in a disagreement of any kind can be a source of significant stress and worry, not least when it comes to the complexities of commercial and contractual disputes.

Unfortunately, given that businesses and consumers enter into contractual arrangements on a daily basis, disagreements are commonplace. These can include warranty claims, the sale of goods and supply of services, problems relating to agency and distributorship, or a multitude of issues relating to terms of business, such as payment, timing and penalty clauses.

In such cases, where a dispute has arisen, you or your business will almost certainly benefit from clear and constructive expert advice from the outset, allowing you to take stock of where you stand, together with the available options to most effectively resolve the matter.

What we do for our clients

At Farnworth Rose Solicitors we have extensive experience in litigating and resolving a wide range of commercial and contractual disputes for both businesses and individuals.

We work closely with our clients on every aspect of their dispute, helping to explore all potential avenues, from negotiation and mediation, to robustly bringing or defending a claim though the courts, where appropriate. It’s rare for any commercial or contractual dispute to be clearcut, so the parties should always consider what scope there is for settlement. Still, where litigation cannot be avoided, we will drive our client’s case with determination and purpose.

Our specialist solicitors are able to risk assess the merits of a claim or defence, including the strength of our client’s position and their relative bargaining power. With a reputation for resolving cases with speed and efficiency, our team of highly experienced lawyers will also provide practical and strategical advice on how best to approach a dispute.

How we can help you

Whether you’re a business in disagreement with another business, from SME’s to large corporate entities, or an aggrieved individual dissatisfied with the quality of goods or level of service provided to you, we can advise and assist on all aspects of your commercial or contractual dispute. At Farnworth Rose, no matter how small or complex, or how deeply entrenched, we can help to resolve any type of disagreement on the best possible terms.

We can guide you through the process of litigating a dispute, or look to alternative forms of dispute resolution. Litigation can be both time-consuming and expensive where, in many cases, we appreciate the need for cost efficiency and commerciality, especially where a dispute has the potential to adversely impact revenue streams and ongoing business relationships.

For businesses, we will look to protect your short-term financial interests, but also be mindful of maintaining existing clients or contracts — whilst for individuals, we will look to minimise the overall cost and stress involved for you in dealing with the matter. Our priority is to resolve disputes quickly and effectively with minimal disruption to your business or daily life.
