Commercial dispute resolution covers conflicts arising from business-to-business disagreements such as breach of contract, misrepresentation, competition issues, shareholder disputes and IP or construction disputes. A solicitor in this area drafts pleadings, statements of case, and settlement documents, reviews and negotiates mediation or arbitration agreements, and represents clients in Courts and Tribunals in England and Wales, including the High Court and the Court of Appeal, as well as handling alternative dispute resolution. They also advise on enforcement of judgments and settlement terms.

Emily Wood
Solicitor
Works with Lucy Spilsbury
“I would highly recommend Lisa. She took over what had become a difficult and unnecessarily contentious commercial lease dispute after we decided to change solicitors, and the difference in approach was immediately apparent. The other side had adopted an increasingly adversarial approach which, at times, seemed more focused on mud-slinging and applying pressure than finding a sensible resolution. Lisa was excellent at cutting through the noise, keeping the focus firmly on the facts and legal issues that actually mattered, and recalibrating the balance between the parties. She was measured and pragmatic when that was required, but equally prepared to be firm when the circumstances called for it. The matter ultimately settled out of court on terms that I am confident were considerably better than we would have achieved had we continued with our previous representation.”

“ I am pleased to write a review for Poole Alcock Solicitors, in particular for Sarah-Jane who is Partner and Head of Litigation. I have had the privilege of working with her and her team for the past four years. Throughout this time, she has consistently demonstrated an exceptional depth of knowledge in the law, combining technical expertise with a practical, results-driven approach. Sarah-Jane’s legal acumen is truly impressive, with a keen ability to navigate complex legal issues while remaining focused on my best interests. Her attention to detail, thorough research, and strategic thinking set her apart as a true professional in her field. She possesses a remarkable ability to simplify complicated legal concepts, ensuring I was always well-informed and confident in the decision-making process. One of Sarah-Jane’s greatest strengths is her commitment to delivering high-quality service. She is incredibly responsive, approachable, and was dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Her professionalism and integrity are reflected in every aspect of her work, and her ability to manage cases with clarity and precision makes her an invaluable asset. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert legal advice and representation.”

Paul Hatton
Senior Associate Solicitor
“ Very grateful to Stephen and the Forbes team for the legal support provided. From the outset Stephen provided straight forward advice, breaking down legal language in an easy way to understand. Stephen’s knowledge is excellent and I felt reassured throughout the case that we would get the right outcome. Stephen was able to share his wealth of experience which was useful having never been in a situation like this before. I was regularly kept updated on progress & costs and communication was excellent. ”

Aimee Mckay
Solicitor
Works with Anna Stinton
“Following a difficult 2.5-year experience with NJP Solicitors, I transitioned my case to Stowe Family Law, where I was represented by Molly Brindley. Initially, I was understandably cautious due to my prior experience, but Molly swiftly earned my confidence through her exceptional professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering dedication. Her strategic support during the FDR session was instrumental—without her guidance, achieving a fair outcome would have been unlikely. Thanks to Molly's expertise, my divorce and financial settlement were successfully finalized after 3.5 years. During Molly’s brief absences, her colleague Eve Bolt stepped in seamlessly, ensuring there were no disruptions or delays. Eve consistently followed up on documentation and provided timely updates, exemplifying the same high standards of professionalism and client care. Working with Molly and Eve was a genuinely positive experience. They are both consummate professionals who made a challenging journey significantly easier. I am deeply grateful for their support.”

What Commercial Dispute Resolution clients highlight
“I cannot recommend Lucie Anne Rhodes highly enough. She guided me through one of the most challenging periods of my life with unwavering professionalism, genuine empathy, and sharp legal acumen. My case involved a complex commercial lease dispute that had dragged on for over a year. I was paying rent on a property I couldn't use due to a prolonged electricity disconnection, facing an inflated massive dilapidations claim and dealing with uncooperative landlords and their solicitors. To add to the pressure, I lost my regular job during this period and was financially stretched to my limits, with an expensive family hospitalisation and medical needs. Lucie never once made me feel like just another case file. She: * Fought tirelessly against unreasonable demands and delaying tactics. * Provided clear, honest advice even when the news was difficult to hear. * Negotiated strategically, always keeping my best interests at the forefront. * Showed genuine compassion during moments of personal crisis, including redundancy and family pressures. * Secured a settlement that, while not the outcome I originally hoped for, protected me from the massive dilapidations claim and allowed me to walk away with my dignity intact. If you need a solicitor who combines legal excellence with true humanity, look no further. Lucie is worth every penny and more. Thank you for everything.”
