Dispute Resolution

Contract Disputes

Recovering value where an agreement has broken down, from first letter to enforced judgment.

Overview

How we approach contract disputes

Contract disputes turn on documents and conduct. We reconstruct the paper trail quickly, then decide whether pressure, negotiation or proceedings will recover the most value soonest.

Where a counterparty is simply unwilling to pay, a properly drafted letter before action often resolves matters within weeks.

Common situations

  • Non-payment and disputed invoices
  • Defective goods, works or services
  • Termination and wrongful notice
  • Misrepresentation before signature
  • Disagreements over scope and variations

Our Process

Four stages, agreed in advance

A consistent structure applied to every matter in this fictional practice.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    A structured first conversation where we map out your contract dispute position, the outcome you want and the realistic routes to get there.

  2. 02

    Scope and cost agreement

    You receive a written plan setting out the work, who will carry it out and a transparent fee structure before anything begins.

  3. 03

    Strategy and progress

    Your named solicitor progresses the matter, negotiates on your behalf and updates you in plain English at every meaningful stage.

  4. 04

    Resolution and aftercare

    We conclude the matter, hand over a clear record of what was agreed and set out anything you should review in the future.
