Frequently asked questions

Do commercial disputes always go to court?+

No. The majority settle through negotiation or mediation, which is faster and cheaper than a trial. Court is a last resort, and a good lawyer will pursue the most cost-effective route to a result for you.

How much does a commercial dispute cost?+

Costs depend on the complexity and how far the dispute runs. Many lawyers offer a fixed-fee initial merits review so you understand the strength of your position and the likely cost before committing further.

What is the first step in a business dispute?+

Usually a clear letter setting out the claim and the outcome you want, which often prompts settlement. A short consultation helps you frame this well and avoid steps that could weaken your position later.
