Business Disputes

Sometimes all the good business practice in the world cannot protect us from commercial disputes, and disputes can be stressful, time consuming and expensive. When they come up it is essential to take expert advice promptly in order to minimise potential damage, and to maximise your opportunities to resolve matters before they escalate.

How we can help

We have a team of experienced commercial litigators who can provide effective and practical commercial advice to minimise the effects of commercial dispute on your business. We are client focused, and committed to resolving matters in your best interests, which is why we advocate a process of mediation and negotiation before we even consider your dispute an issue for the courts.

If however, we do not resolve the matter ‘peacefully’, we are perfectly able to prove our worth in court, fighting your case with the same dedication and strength we apply to all our work.

With a strong understanding of the business world and experience across a range of industry sectors, we can approach your case with a tailored, appropriate response. Our success rate is high, both in pre-litigious dispute resolution using trusted alternative dispute resolution methods and practitioners, and in matters that end up before the courts, where no other solution can be found.

We will assist in all types of dispute resolution, including the common commercial occurrences:

breaches of contract
business issues
sale of goods
property disputes
negligence claims
partnership disputes
shareholder matters
product liability
intellectual property

Professional Negligence

We are well within our rights to expect certain levels of service from the professionals we engage. Solicitors, surveyors, accountants and other professionals all are bound by the law to deliver a reasonable standard of service and of course many of them will have made promises in a contractual agreement with you. When they fail to deliver they can be held legally accountable.

How we can help

At Elliot Mather we know the value of providing the service we promise, even exceeding expectations where possible. That commitment is especially important in working with people who have already been sorely disappointed by professional services, sometimes even other solicitors, often with serious financial or personal consequences. As members of the Professional Negligence Lawyers Association we have considerable experience in prosecuting professional negligence claims against a whole host of professionals, defending your rights with vigour and understanding.

We pride ourselves on giving our clients a commercially focused, pragmatic service. We offer our clients the benefit of our experience and commercially-minded approach, giving clear advice and expert representation against all types of professionals.
