A business dispute solicitor will help resolve any disagreements in a corporate setting. Or between different businesses that are in conflict.
The benefit of approaching a business dispute solicitor is that, if successful, it can prevent the need for court proceedings. As a result, it finds a solution that pleases both parties, rather than a solution imposed on one party. So the damage to long-term business relations is less.
A business dispute solicitor will aim to find a solution through negotiation. They take a neutral, independent, third-party role. Communicating with both parties to agree on a set arrangement.
Business dispute solicitors can help resolve disputes between:
- Directors
- Customers
- Shareholders
- Suppliers
- Competitors
- Stakeholders
- Business partners
- Landlords/tenants
A business dispute solicitor will also provide guidance on corporate and commercial law.
Sometimes negotiation is not possible. In these cases, a business dispute solicitor can still help. They will be able to recommend and advise on the best legal action you could take.
