Early intervention to avoid business disputes

Often business disputes can be avoided with the right early advice from our experienced team. We can help to clarify your legal position and rights, then suggest specific actions you can take to sidestep a potential dispute or proactively resolve a problem before it escalates into a dispute.

Pre-action commercial dispute resolution

Many commercial disputes can be swiftly resolved with the strategic intervention of our team. We can assist with options including letters before action setting out your position and the outcome you wish to achieve, as well as private negotiations to find an amicable solution where possible.

Commercial mediation

Mediation is now one of the most common methods of resolving business disputes and is increasingly encouraged by the courts as an alternative to litigation. Our business disputes solicitors in Alconbury include skilled mediators who can facilitate constructive negotiations between the parties to a dispute in a mediated setting.

Roythornes Partner Peter Cusick is a CEDR Accredited Mediator, and Partner Tim Russ is accredited as a mediator by ADR Group, CEDR and the Law Society Civil and Commercial mediation panel.

Arbitration

Arbitration offers an attractive option where the parties to a business dispute cannot agree on a resolution but are still keen to avoid court proceedings. An arbitrator will review the parties’ arguments and provide a binding decision on the outcome. Roythornes is one of only a few firms in the area that offer this highly effective method of alternative dispute resolution for business disputes.

Our commercial disputes solicitors in Alconbury include Roythornes Partner Tim Russ, who is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

Adjudication

Adjudication is a dispute resolution method used for construction and engineering disputes. It is normally a contractual requirement for many types of construction contracts and is similar to arbitration in that it involves an independent adjudicator reviewing the facts set out by the parties to a dispute and making a binding decision on the outcome.

Senior Associate Alex Forster has particular expertise in the use of adjudication for construction and engineering disputes.

Commercial litigation

Where other methods have not succeeded or are not appropriate, it may be necessary to take a dispute to court or tribunal. It is essential to have the best available legal support to ensure your case is prepared effectively, all the right evidence is included, and every available argument considered.

Roythornes business disputes solicitors in Alconbury are highly experienced in court and tribunal proceedings for commercial disputes, so they can give you the best chance of securing the outcome you need.
