Commercial Litigation Department
The Commercial Litigation Department, headed by partner Paul Bennett, and also including partner, Lee Bramley, and solicitors, Nazia Aftab and Alex Smith, handles a diverse range of commercial litigation matters for business clients:
- Insolvency Litigation
- Commercial Insurance claims
- Contractual disputes
- Intellectual Property disputes
- Commercial Arbitration
- Partnership disputes
- Joint Venture disputes
- Property litigation
- Professional Negligence claims
- Minority shareholder actions
- Construction/Engineering disputes
- Share and share option entitlements
- Supply/Distributorship agreements
- Professional disciplinary representation
- Non routine debt collection
From the outset of any matter, the Commercial Litigation Department establishes quickly the commercial aims and objectives of clients and seeks to achieve those objectives as quickly and as cost effectively as possible. The Team will always look towards methods of settlement outside of litigation, such as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) or mediation.
If litigation must be used, then the Department handles cases from start to finish - including the drafting of pleadings, interviewing and taking witness statements, assessing and gathering of evidence, advising on merits, and representation in courts, arbitrations, mediations and tribunals.
