Our commercial litigation and dispute resolution services

A breach of any type of contract can be a frustrating situation for a business, so it’s important to seek legal assistance at the earliest opportunity to ensure matters are quickly resolved and don’t cause a further impact on the business.

Our dispute lawyers at Rollits have considerable knowledge and skill in all types of contractual breaches. The team will start by assessing the situation, including the type of contract you have in place and the terms involved. This allows us to deliver advice tailored to your circumstances for the best possible chance of success.

If your business has produced a product that is alleged to be defective, it has the potential to seriously impact your reputation and success moving forward. Having effective guidance can help minimise the impact, including preventing matters from escalating and having a further detrimental effect on the business.

Our solicitors have worked with a wide range of clients, including manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers in various industries providing advice in concern to product liability matters, from negotiating settlements to defending claims.

For most businesses, their intellectual property is a vital asset. Where an individual or business infringes on your IP, it can have a catastrophic outcome.

Our commercial disputes solicitors can take the time to assess your IP case and the evidence you have to support or defend the matter. In matters where another business has infringed your IP, you may be able to seek a court order, such as an injunction, to prevent further infringement. Our team can support you through the entire process, ensuring you receive the outcome you need.

If your business has not honoured a warranty for whatever reason, the buyer may choose to dispute this and take further action. In situations like these, it’s important to seek the guidance of a solicitor to ensure you are not breaching your warranty terms and, where needed, to provide expert advice and guidance to fight the claim.

Our solicitors have assisted a variety of businesses in similar circumstances. We have the skill and expertise you require to provide proficient guidance during the process of disputing the claim.

In most instances of company warranty claims, we can find a resolution without the need for contentious and costly court proceedings, instead always encouraging clients to seek tactical methods of resolution through alternative dispute resolution (ADR). But rest assured, should your dispute require a further level of assistance, we are prepared to support you through court litigation.

Shareholder disputes are quite common in business relationships, but they often happen between majority and minority shareholders and have the potential to become contentious and divide shareholders. It’s crucial to seek the guidance of a specialist during these types of scenarios to make certain matters are quickly resolved.

Our commercial disputes solicitors have worked with clients suffering from a range of shareholder disputes, even those which are more complex. We understand the importance of maintaining longstanding business relationships and strive to find a resolution method that does not jeopardise this.

When you choose to set up a business with a partner, you don’t expect disputes to occur, but they unfortunately are a common occurrence in business. If you have a partnership agreement in place, this should set out how disputes are required to be resolved, but for any partnership without this, the Partnership Act 1890 governs your partnership. Whether you have an agreement or not, seeking legal support is paramount.

Our dispute lawyers will take the time to carefully review your partnership agreement where applicable and navigate the involved parties towards the best outcome as per the agreement. For cases governed by the 1890 Act, our solicitors can advise on your legal rights and push those involved towards methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) where possible.

While breach of confidentiality is often done accidentally, it can be extremely costly for businesses if information lands in the wrong hands. Additionally, it can also significantly damage business relationships and reputations.

Our commercial disputes solicitors at Rollits can aid clients from all backgrounds, including whether they are defending or bringing forward a breach of confidentiality claim. We will work proactively to ensure the matter is quickly handled, preventing problems from escalating further.

A business’s reputation is one of the most crucial aspects of what makes a business successful. If the reputation of your business is at risk, this can be harmful, with the possibility of profit margins being impacted and, in worst case scenarios, leading to the closing down of your business.

Our business disputes solicitors understand the serious impact reputation damage can have on your business. When you choose to instruct our commercial litigation solicitors, you can be confident in receiving assistance from empathetic but determined solicitors who will back your corner throughout the process. You can be certain our team will swiftly find the outcome you need to protect your interests.

Agreements concerning the sale and supply of goods and services form a contract between the parties. Unfortunately, problems and disagreements between sellers and buyers can arise, including disputing quality the of goods or services and any disruptions to supply.

In these types of instances, your business can be severely impacted, potentially causing operations to halt, reputation damage and profit margins being impacted. For matters to be resolved swiftly and prevent a further damaging impact, the support and guidance of a solicitor is highly encouraged.

Our commercial dispute resolution solicitors can take the time to carefully assess your situation, including the terms of the contract you and the supplier have in place. We will provide advice on the options available, particularly where a claim may be possible. The Rollits team strive to provide an effective and bespoke service without delay. Our solicitors have years of combined expertise and can deliver an outstanding service that correlates with the business’s best interests.

Property disputes, like properties themselves, come in all shapes and sizes, and no two disputes are ever the same.
