People and businesses enter into contracts on a daily basis; be that the purchase of lunch or a train ticket, the fulfilment of a contract of employment or buying goods/services on a commercial basis.
It is inevitable that, in some cases, questions will arise about the meaning, effect and interpretation of an agreement after it has been entered, even if it was in writing.
Our dispute resolution and litigation solicitors can offer you swift, practical advice on the terms of your contract to help you gain a tactical advantage in any contractual dispute and minimise the effect on your personal life or business.
Who do our dispute resolution solicitors act for?
We have acted for a broad range of individuals and organisations in all aspects of commercial and contract dispute resolution in the County Court, High Court, and Court of Appeal as well as outside court proceedings.
How do we help?
The types of contractual disputes we frequently help our clients with include:
- Breach of contract generally
- Breach of the terms of a partnership agreement
- Breach of restrictive covenant and ‘non-compete’ agreements
- Warranty and indemnity claims
- Agency, distribution and franchise agreements
- Misrepresentation claims
- Breaches of trust and breaches of fiduciary duties
- Unjust enrichment
- Sale and supply of goods and services
What initial steps should I take before contacting you?
Think about what you want, not just what went wrong.
If the terms of the contract are recorded in a written document, it is essential that you obtain a copy of it and provide it to us. Parties are generally free to agree whatever terms they want, so asking a solicitor questions about the meaning of those terms, without the contract, will rarely enable them to provide you with proper advice.
If the terms of the contract were not written down, write down what you think was agreed, when and between whom.
Gather and place into chronological order all relevant documents (including emails) relevant to the claim.
