Commercial Litigation

At Brethertons we deal with a wide variety of Commercial litigation matters and it is true to say that most people and companies look to avoid commercial disputes wherever possible. This is not surprising, as going to Court can be an expensive option and the outcome is often uncertain.

If you are faced with a potential court case and want useful, helpful legal advice, offered in a non-jargon-based-way, then Brethertons can provide this support for you.

In nearly all cases, we try and avoid the courts and find alternative ways to solve or defend disputes.  We will assess your case situation and might suggest commercial mediation, or a negotiated settlement, or other route.

The majority of clients who come to us for advice don’t really want to – that is - they are unhappy that they are either going to have to sue someone, or are being sued themselves. At Brethertons, Commercial Litigation isn’t just about the law surrounding what your legal rights are, its about how we help you approach the dispute, how we help you to try to achieve the best outcome in your situation, and how we can get results for you, with as little pain, time and angst as possible.

We can assist with:-

• Contract disputes
• Negligence actions
• Partnership/shareholder disputes
• Landlord & tenant disputes
• Passing-off actions
• Debt Recovery
• Building disputes
• Intellectual property disputes
• Professional negligence claims
• Property Management disputes

The difference at Brethertons’ Commercial Litigation Department, is that we aim to take the pressure off you and help you to achieve the best outcome that is available.
