Business Disputes
We are experienced in business disputes. Contact one of our business dispute lawyers for a consultation where we can discuss your options and how we can help.
Business disputes occur in a variety of ways. However they occur, it is best to obtain legal advice as soon as possible to prevent the situation from escalating or becoming unmanageable. Speaking to a business dispute lawyer can help to clarify your legal position and negotiate an outcome without resorting to costly litigation in court where the process becomes more difficult to control. Some of the most common types of business disputes include the following:
Shareholder disputes between the shareholders of a company
disputes between directors of a company
contractual disputes such as those relating to a debt, a franchise, a lease or real property
Sometimes these disputes are not based on a written document, such as a contract, but on the basis of exchange of emails or a verbal understanding. In such situations, it is important that all of the relevant details forming the basis of the dispute are explained. If a business dispute lawyer is involved early on in the matter, it is more likely that a good outcome can be achieved. This is because a business dispute lawyer can negotiate an outcome which will consider all parties’ interests.
Sometimes the agreement or contract requires that an informal settlement conference or mediation be carried our prior to the matter going to court. In retail lease disputes, it is often a requirement that a mediation be held by a delegate of the Small Business Commissioner before proceedings can be commenced in the Tribunal or Court.
Business disputes require a lawyer familiar with the relevant legislation and the common law.
