Types of disputes we handle

A focused assessment helps you decide what deserves action now and what can wait.

Shareholder and director disputes

Protect your position when trust breaks down over control, decisions, dividends or alleged breaches of duty.

Supplier and distribution conflicts

Keep supply moving where possible, while dealing with delayed goods, exclusivity terms and termination threats.

Commercial property disputes

Advice covers lease breaches, rent issues, dilapidations, access problems and disagreements over repair duties.

Construction claims

We help businesses respond to delay, payment, workmanship and scope disputes before costs spread.

Unpaid invoices

A measured debt recovery plan can press for payment while preserving a useful customer relationship.

Your options, explained clearly

Court is one route. It is rarely the first route we suggest when a sensible settlement remains possible.

We set out likely cost, timing and risk at each stage so you can choose with the facts in front of you.

1 Early advice

Find the pressure point

We examine the agreement, correspondence, deadlines and commercial objective. You receive a prioritised action plan, often within the first discussion.

2 Negotiation

Put a workable proposal forward

A carefully framed letter or call can resolve a breach, agree payment terms or preserve a trading relationship without formal proceedings.

3 Mediation or arbitration

Use a structured private process

Mediation gives both sides room to settle with an independent facilitator. Arbitration may provide a binding decision where the contract or parties require it.

4 Litigation strategy

Prepare for court with purpose

If proceedings are needed, we build the case around evidence, recoverability and the outcome your business can use.

SME debt recovery

Debt recovery that keeps decisions practical

An overdue invoice affects cash flow and management time. We help you decide whether to pursue payment, negotiate terms or begin formal action.

Our work may include a pre-action letter, statutory demand advice, settlement discussions and enforcement planning. We explain the likely cost before each step.

Action protects cash flow

The sooner we understand the debt, the more choices you usually have.

Shareholder disputes UK

Shareholder and director conflicts need a steady hand

Disagreement over control, company money or strategic direction can quickly affect staff, customers and value.

We take a sensitive, commercial approach. That can mean enforcing information rights, challenging an improper decision, negotiating an exit or preparing an injunction application.

Plan stronger governance

Illustrative client outcome

A route through a deadlock

A growing business faced a shareholder deadlock after a proposed change in direction. We mapped the articles, shareholder agreement and financial records, then helped the parties reach an orderly agreement without issuing proceedings.

Read the practical lesson

Good records and clear decision rules reduce the room for a dispute to grow. When conflict starts, preserve correspondence and seek advice before changing access, pay or company control.

Dispute resolution FAQs

Short answers for a difficult moment.

How much will a dispute cost?

It depends on the value, evidence, urgency and route chosen. We explain likely fees and stages before work begins, then give regular updates as the matter develops.

How long does mediation take?

Many mediations take a single day once the papers and position statements are ready. The full timetable also depends on finding a suitable mediator and agreeing a date.

Can I avoid court?

Often, yes. Early negotiation and mediation can settle a dispute without a hearing. We will still prepare with the discipline needed if court becomes necessary.

What if I have already received a claim?

Check the response deadline immediately and do not ignore the papers. Send us the claim, contract and related correspondence so we can assess the deadline and available response.

Your facts matter more than a standard answer.
