partnership and director disputes

Few legal disputes have the potential to be as vital or toxic as those involving former partners or directors who now find themselves at loggerheads. Such disputes can be both drawn-out and very expensive.

Our dispute resolution team understand you would much rather be focusing your time and energy building a successful business going forwards. Where possible we use our experience and objectivity to explore whether an agreement can be reached whilst at the same time strenuously pressing our client's legal rights. If appropriate we will give early consideration to whether the dispute can be resolved, at a reduced cost and without unwanted publicity, through mediation.

A client may have been locked out of his business or learned that his former business associate has joined a competitor, taking details of a unique business design or vital business contacts. In those circumstances urgent action can be taken by way of injunctions to protect your position. Proceedings can also be commenced seeking damages where the opposing party is in breach of agreement.
