Litigation
Disputes are becoming increasingly common but for a business they can be a real headache, potentially costly and inevitably time consuming. If you find yourself caught up in a dispute, it’s vital you have the right legal expertise on your side, to minimise the impact on you and your business.
At Jackson & Lyon LLP, we have considerable experience in resolving disputes across a wide range of industries and sectors – and truly understand the challenges and commercial implications of such actions on a business. We also know the importance of reaching a positive outcome as swiftly as possible.
We are also often instructed in cases where we are not the primary counsel, so that we can offer a different perspective, or to facilitate the settlement of the dispute. Our clients have found this service to be invaluable.
Commercial Litigation
Commercial disputes are part and parcel of business life. From time to time, even the most successful businesses will find that issues arise with suppliers, customers, partners, distributors or competitiors.
There are many different scenarios where a dispute arises: unpaid payments due under a contract, the interpretation of a particular clause within an agreement or whether one can terminate an agreement are just a few areas of commercial disputes.
Our expertise means we handle commercial disputes at all levels of the English court system. We understand the challenges faced by commercial parties who are involved in disputes.
When a commercial solution cannot be reached, we have an impressive track record of achieving results for our clients through the courts. We vigorously pursue claims on behalf of our clients, taking all necessary steps to protect their interests.
Professional Negligence Litigation
Our lawyers have both defended professional firms and acted against them. We understand both sides of the disputes that arise.
We advise on all forms of disputes arising out of and linked to professional negligence against solicitors, barristers, immigration advisors, accountants or financial advisors; including breaches of professional duty, breaches of contract and fraud by professionals.
Landlord & Tenant Litigation
Whether it is a business income or a home, we understand that they are two of the most important things a landlord and tenant will want to protect. The loss of rent or the fear of losing your home can be stressful and commercially draining. Property disputes can often need us to respond quickly. We are not afraid to step in and give you that help.
With the law in this area changing regularly, you can be confident in instructing us to be up to date with processes and give you detailed advice on practical and tactical solutions. Most of the time, property disputes arise from breaches of obligations under leases and service charges and can be resolved amicably without losing a professional relationship. When this breakdown does occur, we are armed with the experience to tackle difficult cases in court.
