Dispute Resolution and Litigation
When your business or personal interests are threatened, we will move quickly and decisively, taking court action if this is the best option. Our approach to resolving disputes is practical and commercial – if court action can be justified in financial terms, we will act to secure a real advantage.
Our aim is to avoid exposing you to expensive and time consuming litigation, the outcome of which can often be uncertain. We work to achieve this by, in the first instance, careful attention to the preparation of your commercial agreements and, secondly when a dispute does arise, by exploring the opportunities for settlement with whichever method suits your needs. We are not eager litigators, but we will always make sure your rights are respected.
At Batchelor Myddelton we recognise that your dispute may be resolved in different ways including:
- negotiation
- mediation
- arbitration
- adjudication
- litigation
Whether you are the claimant or defendant, we have the resources to manage simple or complex disputes and the experience to provide a realistic assessment of the risks and implications for your business.
Examples of our experience
- debt recovery
- customer/supplier
- agent/distributor
- building disputes
- confidentiality/copyright
- employment/restrictive covenants
- other contractual disputes including disputes on terms and conditions along with misrepresentation
- partnership/boardroom disputes
- shareholder disputes
- insolvency
- property (including landlord and tenant)
- professional negligence
- intellectual property matters
- enforcement
- inheritance disputes
With all of these matters we will work with you to provide a prompt, efficient and commercial service. We appreciate that cash flow is important and if we can reach an early settlement that is in your favour we will look to do so.
