Types of Commercial Litigation Cases We Handle
At Lewis Nedas Law, we offer comprehensive legal support across a wide range of commercial disputes. Below are some of the most common types of cases we handle:
Breach of Contract
Contract disputes are one of the most frequent causes of commercial litigation. These cases arise when one party fails to fulfil their contractual obligations, such as non-payment, delivery issues, or failure to meet agreed terms. Our solicitors work diligently to enforce contracts or defend against unfounded claims.
Shareholder Disputes
Disagreements among shareholders can disrupt business operations and harm relationships. We assist clients in resolving conflicts related to shareholder agreements, dividend payments, minority rights, and more while safeguarding their business interests.
Partnership Disputes
Partnership disputes often involve disagreements over profit sharing, decision-making authority, or breaches of fiduciary duties. Our team provides expert advice to resolve these issues amicably or through legal action if necessary.
Civil Asset Recovery
We help businesses recover assets lost due to fraud or other unlawful activities. Our team employs various strategies, including court proceedings and alternative dispute resolution methods, to trace and reclaim assets effectively.
Intellectual Property Disputes
Protecting intellectual property is crucial for any business. We represent clients in cases involving trademark infringement, copyright violations, patent disputes, and trade secret misappropriation to safeguard their valuable assets.
Employment Disputes
Employment-related conflicts such as wrongful termination claims, discrimination allegations, or breach of employment contracts can lead to significant liabilities for businesses. Our solicitors provide strategic advice to resolve these disputes efficiently while protecting your company’s reputation.
Insolvency Litigation
Insolvency disputes require careful navigation of financial and legal complexities. Whether you are a creditor seeking repayment or a business facing insolvency proceedings, we provide strategic advice to protect your position and achieve the best possible outcome.
Jurisdiction & Cross-Border Disputes
Cross-border disputes involve multiple jurisdictions and require specialised knowledge of international law. Our lawyers have extensive experience handling jurisdictional challenges and resolving conflicts involving international parties.
