We aim to explain matters clearly to our clients at the outset and to give you a reasonable idea of your prospects of success, areas of risk or damage limitation, either pursuing or defending a claim.
The disputes that we are called upon to deal with are as varied as our client base. The types of case we handle for our clients includes:-
-
Suing a US based permanent health insurer for breach of contract.
-
Defending a claim that had been brought against a racehorse trainer by a building company who were seeking to recover payment for the construction of a horseracing "gallop"
-
Pursuing a professional negligence claim against a firm of Solicitors
-
Defending a company that had been accused of breaching design rights of a French company.
-
Bringing an action against one of the Partners in a Partnership who refuses to agree to assets being sold.
Commercial Litigation usually involves reacting to a situation quite quickly. Sometimes we may only have a few hours warning that a client wants to issue proceedings against an ex-employee to obtain a restraining order (formerly known as an Injunction), or to stop an ex-employee who has, for example, run-off with a client list or confidential information.
The key to successful commercial litigation is team work.
This means that we at Brethertons, the Barrister, the expert (if required) and the client have to work together. If this necessitates attending meetings on site, out-of-hours or at the drop of a hat, then we always strive to achieve this.
Initial advice on any commercial litigation matter is free of charge and this does not mean that the advice is limited to purely sending us an email. You can either pick up the phone or come in and see us (without charge) for the first consultation.
