Commercial litigation

leading solicitors in commercial litigation - Surrey and SE

Morrisons Litigation team is made up of experienced lawyers, some of whom have worked in Central London before joining Morrisons. Our solicitors have a wide range of experience in all aspects of commercial litigation including international and High Court disputes which are often large and complex, to smaller and equally important cases in the County Court.

We believe in resolving your disputes in the most cost effective and expeditious way possible using either our trial experience, industry knowledge or alternative methods of dispute resolution. In resolving some disputes, members of the commercial litigation team are able to work very closely with other commercial lawyers in the firm who specialise in company and commercial law, property law, employment law and insolvency law. This allows our solicitors to understand fully the commercial and legal issues in a case.

In providing you with a quality service, our lawyers are able to draw on their in depth knowledge of different industry sectors. Over the years, we have acted for clients who are highly respected in their particular field, these include:

  • Accountants
  • Charities
  • Commercial property companies
  • Construction companies
  • Providers of energy
  • Housing associations
  • Insurers
  • Liquidators
  • Manufacturers in various specialised industries
  • Multi-national companies and Plcs
  • Security firms
  • Software and technology companies
  • Trustees.

Due to the development of new technology, the growth in competition and the increasing pace of the commercial world that we live in, disputes are beginning to become more commonplace and more complex.

If you are confronted with the possibility of a dispute, as a claimant or defendant we will ensure that your rights are vigorously enforced and your essential interests are protected. We do this by closely working with you, understanding your business and commercial interests, advising you about important steps throughout a dispute and discussing the most appropriate way t resolve a dispute.

When taking on new cases, we will discuss an overall strategy with you at an early stage. In mapping out this strategy we will consider the legal and commercial aspects of your case including its strengths and weaknesses. We will discuss with you alternative methods of settlement, the likely outcome of the case, and the costs and risks associated with any dispute resolution procedure.
