FAQs: Commercial Litigation
What types of disputes fall under commercial litigation?
Commercial litigation generally includes disputes involving breach of contracts, partnership and shareholder disagreements, debt recovery, intellectual property disputes, franchise issues, professional negligence claims, and disputes involving company directors.
How long does commercial litigation typically take?
The duration of commercial litigation can vary significantly, typically taking anywhere from several months to multiple years depending on the complexity of the case, willingness of parties to settle, and court availability. Early resolution methods such as mediation can significantly reduce this timescale.
Can commercial litigation be settled out of court?
Yes, disputes can often be resolved without going to court through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or other alternative dispute resolution methods. Settling outside court usually reduces costs and can achieve faster resolutions.
What happens during the initial consultation for commercial litigation?
During the initial consultation, we thoroughly assess your dispute circumstances, evaluate the merits and risks involved, discuss your objectives, and offer strategic advice to inform your next steps and potential solutions available to you.
Is commercial litigation expensive?
Costs depend on the complexity and duration of your dispute. However, proactive dispute management and alternative dispute resolution can significantly reduce overall expenses. We provide transparent fee structures and detailed cost estimates from the outset.
