This area covers disputes arising from commercial and corporate activities, including contract, company, shareholder and partnership matters, and claims about business fault, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or fiduciary duties. A solicitor practising in this field handles disputes from inception through to resolution, drafting statements of case, pleadings, and interlocutory applications, advising on settlement options, and representing the client in negotiations, hearings and trial in the High Court, the Court of Appeal or equivalents. It also covers alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation or arbitration, where appropriate.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
These matters involve specific provisions, structures, and procedures: contract definitions, misrepresentation and breach remedies, corporate governance and directors' duties, shareholder disputes, unfair prejudice petitions, injunctions, and the interplay with insolvency or regulatory actions. The solicitor manages disclosure, expert evidence, document-intensive proceedings, cross-border elements, and strategic considerations to navigate complex litigation timelines and procedural thresholds.
