Commercial Litigation

Unfortunately, disputes are a fact of business life. They may range from minor day to day matters to considerable problems that threaten business survival. At these times it is important to ensure that expert legal advice is accessed as quickly as possible.

Pickering & Butters has the knowledge, expertise and experience to be able to assist our clients at any stage of a dispute. Although litigation is the process of taking a case through court, we recognise that alternative means to settle disputes have to be considered before resorting to court proceedings. Wherever possible we will endeavour to resolve your problems by negotiation (if this is not possible consideration may also be given to arbitration, mediation or Alternative Dispute Resolution). If all such attempts are unsuccessful then we will advise you as to the merits of issuing court proceedings and the cost implications of doing so.

We have a wealth of experience in resolving disputes and always ensure that our clients are fully and properly advised on the merits and the risks of pursuing or resisting claims. Our aim is to provide the timeliest and cost effective service for our clients' needs.

If court proceedings are inevitable, we know how to make the procedures work to promote the best possible result for our clients.
