Dispute resolution for your business

Introduction

The team regularly deals with commercial, insolvency, professional negligence and corporate disputes, among others. Solicitors at Morrisons have acted at all levels of the legal system, including international and High Court disputes, as well as the County Court. Our team also has a strong grounding in commercial litigation.

Our clients are drawn from all walks of commerce and industry, but we are particularly recognised for our expertise in the car industry, recruitment, healthcare and security sectors, as well as disputes involving professional practices.

The best outcome from a dispute is not always reached through the courts and we will always discuss with you alternative methods of settlement before deciding on a course of action.

 Some common commercial and business disputes where we can help are outlined below.

Trading Disputes

Disputes concerning customer versus supplier, or agent versus a principle or distributor.

Company issues

Disagreements following the sale or purchase of a business or its assets, breach of warranty claim or breach of contract matters. Morrisons also assists in the breakdown of relationships within a corporation or partnership.

Intellectual Property

Matters concerning trademark, copyright and passing off claims.

Property

Recovery of rent and service charges, enforcement of tenant covenants and issues with contentious lease renewal processes.

Insolvency

Corporate and individual compulsory insolvency is one of Morrisons’ specialist areas of expertise. We can assist in pursuing or resisting insolvency petitions, as well as aid insolvency practitioners, individuals and companies in matters arising in the aftermath of insolvency.

Professional negligence

If you have received advice or a service that you are unhappy with and which has resulted in you suffering loss or damage, Morrisons can assist in finding a suitable solution.

Arbitration

Arbitration is a common and popular method of dispute resolution. Without resorting to the courts, it allows parties to agree a course of action. Morrisons has qualified Arbitrators and can provide expert advice and representation to ensure the best possible chances of success.
