COMMERCIAL DISPUTE OR LITIGATION?
Case Studies
BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD PAY…..
Taylor’s Tubing Ltd has supplied £30,000 worth of rubber tubing to Playtime, a children’s toy manufacturer. Taylor’s Tubing’s terms of payment stipulate that payment must be received within 30 days but the invoice is now 60 days overdue.
Mr Taylor knows that a little of the tubing has been used by Playtime to make toys but assumes that the remainder is still packed up in the warehouse. Although Mr Taylor has heard that Playtime may be in some difficulties he is not unduly concerned >>More
Commercial Disputes & Litigation
Commercial disputes and litigation are an area of expertise at Davis Blank Furniss Solicitors. Almost every business will become involved with commercial disputes and potentially commercial litigation. For most new businesses commercial disputes arise sooner rather than later. Our commercial litigation solicitors commonly deal with
commercial disputes involving suppliers, competitors, customers and, not infrequently, commercial disputes involving shareholders and partners in a business.
Unless your business leads an unnaturally charmed life then at some stage you will find yourselves in a dispute, our team of commercial litigation solicitors will give you thirty minutes free legal advice via our Business Law Advice Service. This can have a major impact on the ultimate outcome of a commercial dispute not only in pure financial terms but also in terms of the stress, anxiety and damage to relationships involved in resolving a commercial dispute.
When a commercial dispute rears its head you have a choice. You can attempt to resolve the issue independently without input from our commercial litigation lawyers. Sometimes you will succeed but on other occasions you will make matters worse. Alternatively, you can seek the advice of our hard headed team of Commercial Litigation Lawyers. By opting for the later you will be armed with a clear and straightforward view of the strengths and weaknesses of your position, and have a professional legal view on the pros and cons and commercial sense of proceeding to litigation and on the opportunity to achieve dispute resolution by another route.
Business Law Advice Service

When our commercial litigation solicitors give you advice, they do so against a background of advising clients on virtually every commercial ill which may befall a smaller business.
Sometimes the advice will be to pay up. On other occasions we will suggest that you give up. We do not shrink from giving an answer which you do not wish to hear, but our advice is always measured, commercial, and practical.
Areas in which our commercial litigation lawyers commonly practice include:-
- Sale of Goods - This is a veritable minefield although commercial disputes and litigation can be avoided if you engage us first to draft a set of workable terms and conditions of trade and give you advice as to their implementation.
- Insolvency – What happens when a customer or a business partner shows signs of financial distress. Our commercial litigation lawyers will advise on the potential for pre-emptive action to protect your position.
- Professional Negligence – Has an advisor let you down? Have you relied upon an inaccurate valuation or has a previous Solicitor or Accountant made a mistake which has only recently come to light? If so we will investigate rigorously.
- Property Matters – Our Commercial Litigation Team can deal with issues of title, landlord and tenant disputes, covenants and easements, disputes on the terms and conditions of leases and related topics.
Commercial Litigation may be the best or only way forward in some commercial disputes. However in the majority of situations by taking early legal advice we can achieve the optimum outcome and avoid the cost and complexity of commercial litigation. Most commercial disputes can be resolved and a positive outcome achieved by acting on sound legal advice taken as a dispute arises. Our emphasis always is on prevention rather than cure, but when a cure is prescribed our commercial law team will offer a rapid diagnosis, speedy investigation, and an economic prescription, followed, we hope, by a long and rewarding relationship between us.
