Commercial disputes
We know that when you’re running a business, legal disputes are an unwelcome distraction. The legal disputes team at WSP Solicitors has a reputation for being formidable litigators, with the tenacity necessary to resolve disputes on the best terms for you.
Act on a dispute sooner, rather than later
We can assist you on a wide variety of matters, from property and contractual disputes, to matters on debt recovery. Our team have years of experience covering most types of disputes, but if your dispute is in an area we do not cover we will tell you and we can point you in the right direction.
We work closely with you to understand what you need to move forward and what will achieve the best result for your business.
Picking up the phone to talk to us sooner rather than later could make all the difference to achieving a swift resolution. We can then advise you on your options before any action is taken. Call us to make the situation less complicated and to help work things out.
When should I contact you?
The sooner the better. We can advise you on any action you can take yourself before it’s too late, and of course this keeps your costs down.
What should I bring to a meeting?
All the documents you have, whether they are contracts, letters or emails. We also need you to bring along documents that identify you and your company for us to copy and hand straight back to you. This is because we are required by law to verify your identification.
What do you charge?
This really depends on the type of dispute. Always check first to see if any insurance policies you have include legal expenses cover as these may pay your legal costs. We charge based on the amount of time spent. Each solicitor has a different hourly rate. We provide estimates in advance. We appreciate that small businesses, in particular, have to keep a close eye on cash flow, so fixed fees can be agreed for different stages in a case. We also offer fixed fee debt recovery which has the benefit of a solicitor looking at your case from the very beginning.
We offer fixed fee appointments for clients who just need a steer on the merits of their case before proceeding with matters themselves. This is particularly helpful with small claims (under £10,000) for which costs can normally not be recovered from the other side in the event you win.
When should I contact you?
Our team covers most types of business and property disputes, including employment. If your dispute is in an area we do not cover we will tell you and point you in the right direction.
