Business Contracts

A well written contract will ensure that your business transaction or relationship proceeds in accord with the terms you negotiated. Your legal and personal interests are protected if unforeseen circumstances do arise. That any conflict can be resolved at minimal disruption and expense to the parties.

Our commercial & business lawyers are experts in the preparation of “watertight” agreements. We also evaluate contracts to advise clients of their legal rights with respect to termination and breach and explore creative ways of avoiding specific outcomes under the contract. We can assist you with all types of business contracts, including:

Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution

When a commercial dispute arises, prompt and reliable legal advice is essential. What you (or your employees) say and do before litigation is commenced, can have a significant and lasting effect on your legal rights against the other party.

Your contract may also stipulate time constraints, within which steps must be taken if litigation or recovery proceedings are to be commenced. Our dispute resolution lawyers know how to get you out of a difficult situation. Trust that they know how to get the best outcome with everything from a board of directors’ dispute to the dissolution of a small business.
They know that the best commercial outcomes are rarely achieved through litigation and therefore focus on resolving disputes through non-litigious methods such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration and expert-determination.

In our experience, this promotes earlier and more cost effective resolutions for our clients. We also understand that the “best outcome” for each client is different and what matters to you is important.

It is our practice to devise unique resolution strategies for each dispute, to achieve an outcome that promotes your interests. If litigation cannot be avoided, we have the skills and experience to vigorously pursue your interests in order to achieve the best possible outcome.

We have experience resolving commercial disputes over a variety of industry sectors, including:
