Contract Disputes

 

We are commercial and commercial lawyers and business contract specialists, with many years experience in a host of industries providing legal advice on breaches of contractual obligations, such as failures to perform, defective performance of contracts and the rights and availability of remedies available to contracting parties for breach.

 

Contract Dispute Solicitors

In many cases, disputes are able to be negotiated. When negotiations stall or parties have not delivered on their contractual promises, our contract solicitors have the legal experience and expertise to enforce and defend contractual claims. We have done so through the UK Court system, in the County Courts, Patents County Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and the Privy Council.

We provide cost-effective avoidance and resolution of disputes, including advice including:

  • assessing rights to terminate
  • variations of pricing
  • penalties and forfeitures
  • defective performance
  • failures to deliver
  • secret commissions
  • refusal to perform contractual obligations
  • breaches of restrictive covenants
  • termination of contracts for serious breaches
  • breaches of warranties and conditions
  • structuring claims for damages and accounts of profits
  • injunctions and specific performance
