Commercial litigation

Commercial litigation is the area of law covering disputes between two or more businesses and is typically concerned with disagreements over money or assets. Commercial litigation covers a whole host of related issues such as misuse of intellectual property, fraud and abuses of trust.

It is necessary to distinguish commercial litigation from business law, which deals with drafting of contracts and commercial agreements whereas the commercial litigation solicitor will take on the case subsequent to this when a dispute occurs. Cases can range from straightforward debt recovery to protracted claims between multiple parties. More often than not, commercial litigation is instigated when one party alleges that another is in breach of an agreed contract and the other party is denying liability.
