Contract Dispute Solicitors
When a contract goes wrong, it can have a significant impact, whether you are owed money, have not received what you paid for, or face a claim yourself. Our contract dispute solicitors provide clear advice on your position and the practical steps available to you.
We focus on resolving contract disputes proportionately, through negotiation and settlement where possible. Where court action is necessary, we will explain the process and represent you throughout.
Contract disputes we advise on
- Breach of contract by the other party
- Unpaid sums and money owed under an agreement
- Poor or defective performance of contractual obligations
- Disputes over the meaning or interpretation of contract terms
- Termination, cancellation and what each party is entitled to
Understanding your position
The starting point in any contract dispute is to look closely at the agreement and the surrounding circumstances. We will review the terms, consider what was agreed and what has happened, and give you a realistic view of the merits.
We will then advise on a proportionate strategy, weighing up the amount at stake, the likely costs and the prospects of recovery, so that any action is sensible and worthwhile.
Resolving the dispute
Many contract disputes are resolved through a well-drafted letter before action followed by negotiation. Mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution can also help the parties reach a settlement.
Where settlement cannot be reached and court action is necessary, we will pursue or defend a claim and guide you through each stage of the process in clear terms.
