Suppliers and service providers
Recovery of invoices, retention money, milestone payments and delayed payments.
Buyers and customers
Claims for non-performance, defects, refunds and damages.
Technology and SaaS companies
Scope, acceptance, SLA, licence and data disputes with clients and vendors.

Where we come in
Five mistakes we often see.
Each is common, and each is easier to avoid at the start of a dispute.
Skipping the contract's notice steps
Many contracts require written notice or escalation before a claim. Skipping it can weaken the case.
Sending an angry email as the notice
Emails are evidence. A careless message can concede points or contradict your claim.
Waiting until limitation is near
Claims expire. Waiting leaves no room for negotiation, mediation or a properly prepared filing.
Ignoring pre-litigation mediation
For many commercial suits, mediation is required before filing. Skipping it can delay or derail the case.
Suing without checking recoverability
A judgment against a party with no assets is expensive paper. Check recovery prospects first.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
How do I recover an unpaid invoice?
Start with a clear demand notice referring to the contract and invoices. If payment does not follow, options include mediation, a summary suit or arbitration, depending on the contract.
We review the documents and choose the fastest route.
Is mediation compulsory before a commercial suit?
For commercial suits that do not need urgent interim relief, the commercial courts law requires pre-institution mediation. Urgent applications can be exceptions.
We handle this step and the filing that follows.
What if the contract has an arbitration clause?
Then disputes covered by it generally go to arbitration, and a court may refer the parties there. The clause's wording, seat and rules matter.
We read the clause first and advise on forum.
How long do commercial cases take?
Timelines vary with the forum, the value and the court's workload. Summary procedures and arbitration can be faster than ordinary suits, though not always.
We give a realistic range after reviewing the case.
Can I get an urgent order to stop a breach?
Yes, in suitable cases. Courts and tribunals can grant interim injunctions or orders to secure the amount claimed, subject to conditions such as urgency and prima facie case.
We assess and act quickly.
What if the other side says I breached first?
A counterclaim or set-off is common. We assess both sides of the performance record and prepare your case accordingly.
Documents recorded at the time of performance are the most useful.
How much will it cost?
Notices and replies are available at fixed fees, and litigation or arbitration is scoped after we see the papers. Fees are agreed in writing before we start.
We also discuss likely recovery, so you can weigh cost and benefit.
