Commercial disputes

Consumer Rights Act 2015 breaches

To protect consumers, all UK businesses must comply with the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Failure to do so could result in a costly legal dispute.

Terms of business disputes

Disputes over the terms and conditions in your contracts can be an expensive, time consuming and stressful diversion from running your business.

Third party contract disputes

Commercial and Consumer contracts are an everyday part of running a business and serve a vital function in ensuring that aspects of your business are legally effective. Poorly drafted agreements could have serious implications on your cash flow, your liability in the event of a breach of contract, and reputation.

Defamation or slander disputes

The reputation you have built for your business can be damaged in a short space of time by defamatory comments. If your business needs to act over libel or slander, or defend a claim against it, we can help.

Disputes with a company copying your products

Failure to correctly protect your commercial ideas, products, processes or even company name could mean losing your advantage to competitors.

Goods and services supplier disputes

If you buy or sell goods and services, there are a number of legal considerations that you need to be aware of. Without this knowledge, disagreements can quickly escalate which could threaten your business.

Disputes with an Accountant or Financial Advisor

You need to know that your accountant can be relied on. Mistakes or negligence on their part can have profound consequences for your business.

Insurance provider disputes

Purchasing a commercial or personal insurance policy should provide you with peace of mind when running your business or going about your day-to-day life. However, if your insurer declines to meet a claim submitted under a policy, a dispute may arise.

 

How much will it cost?

Legal Expenses Insurance (LEI)

If you have a commercial insurance policy which includes Legal Expenses Insurance (LEI) cover, your legal costs may be covered by your policy (subject to the terms and conditions of the policy). If you are unsure if your insurance policy includes LEI cover, we will check this with you.

 

Self-funding?

Unfortunately, we are unable to take on private instructions at the moment and can only work with customers who have legal expenses insurance.
