Our commercial lawyers understand that one of the paramount concerns to clients involved in litigation or dispute resolution is the level of cost involved and the ability to monitor and budget for those costs on a regular basis. Our lawyers use bespoke software, to provide detailed and tailored budgets at the outset of a dispute. Our budgeting service provides a breakdown of the work and how much it will cost at each stage. This gives our clients greater certainty as to costs and cash flow.

Certain business contracts include an arbitration clause, which means that if the business cannot resolve a dispute or contractual disagreement, the business owner can have the case heard in arbitration. By having the matter in arbitration, the parties forego a court hearing, which could take further time and cost money. An arbitrator listens to both parties side and then tries to come up with a solution mutually agreeable to everyone.

Insurance defence is also a vital part of commercial litigation since most companies carry insurance in the event that an employee, customer or another business names the company as a defendant. When a person or another business sues a company, the owner or representative of the company has to turn it over to their insurance agent. The insurance adjuster retains a business lawyer depending on the expertise needed to represent the insurance company and the business.
