Commercial Property Disputes
Service overview: Commercial property dispute solicitors
- Our commercial property dispute solicitors have all worked at top 100 law firms, in dispute resolution and also in litigation.
- The best way to prevent commercial property disputes arising is to firstly have your agreements checked by a solicitor and negotiate on any contentious areas. We can advise on this and many other commercial property agreements.
- Before taking legal action over the dispute, it’s always advisable to find an alternative solution via mediation or negotiation. We offer both litigation services and alternative dispute resolution. You may need advice over both areas.
- Commercial property disputes are more common in leases than sales and purchases, but our team can help with all kinds of property disputes.
- Our remote-operating commercial property dispute solicitors are based across the UK so we can help you wherever you are. We also have offices in Sheffield, Birmingham, Cambridge and London.
