Commodity disputes cover disagreements arising from the purchase, sale and handling of commodities such as metals, energy, agricultural products and raw materials. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates supply and forward contracts, reviews terms (including Incoterms and documentary credits), and investigates quality, delivery or payment failures. They prepare pleadings, pursue or defend court or tribunal actions, and guide proceedings in arbitration under bodies such as the LCIA or ICC, or in the Commercial Court.
The work involves negotiating contract terms, applying Incoterms, assessing risk allocations, and coordinating with banks, freight forwarders and traders. It includes drafting disputes notices, statements of case, and arbitration pleadings, and handling evidence such as bills of lading, inspection reports and quality certificates. Litigations commonly hinge on documentary compliance, timing, and market-specific regulations, with procedures in the High Court or arbitration seated at London venues.
