Commercial litigation – our expertise

The commercial litigation lawyers at Wilford Smith can take instruction on a comprehensive range of commercial disputes. From sole traders and start-up to multinational enterprises, we can provide clear, pragmatic legal support that is tailored to meet your needs.

Contractual disputes

Our litigation team can offer insight and strategic thinking, alongside skills in negotiation and mediation, to help achieve settlement quickly. We regularly advise commercial clients in respect of contract disputes concerning contracts of sale, supplier agreements, partnership and shareholder agreements and many others besides.

Debt recovery

We can support you in recovering outstanding sums owed quickly and effectively, taking all necessary steps to pursue your debtor, including the drafting of Letters of Claim and Letters Before Action. Should such methods not bring matters to a satisfactory conclusion, our commercial litigation team can initiate court proceedings to recover the debt and seek a court order for enforcement action.

Director, shareholder and partnership disputes

Disagreements can easily arise between directors, shareholders and partners, with statutory obligations and responsibilities, placing a substantial burden on these parties in addition to the need for protecting the interests of the business. We appreciate that these disputes can impact on the ability of your business to function and cause uncertainty for employees and customers. Our commercial litigation team can deliver a comprehensive range of solutions to help achieve consensus professionally and sensitively.
