A Bespoke Approach to

Commercial Property Dispute Resolution

No two commercial property disputes are ever the same. Each transaction has unique circumstances, while your viewpoint and desired outcome will vary depending on the nature of your disagreement and whether you’re making or defending a claim. As a result, you need to instruct a law firm that can gain a thorough understanding of your business practices and provides pragmatic, commercially-focused advice based on what you’re endeavouring to achieve.

Our commercial property dispute resolution process begins by having a detailed discussion about your case and objectives. We’ll then provide our honest and frank opinion regarding your legal position, likelihood of success, and the options that are available to you — while recommending what we believe is the best course of action for you. The next step is to devise a proactive strategy designed to reach your goals as efficiently as possible.

Support for a Range of Sectors

The circumstances of a commercial property dispute can sometimes be influenced by the specific industry you operate in. This is especially the case for farms and other rural businesses. It’s therefore important to instruct a law firm that’s in-tune with your sector and can tailor its service to suit. You need to work with Thursfields.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are several ways to resolve a commercial property dispute. The quickest and most cost-effective option is to pursue ADR (mediation or arbitration), to negotiate a settlement with the other party without having to resort to court action. If this is not possible, the only remaining route is litigation — something that may take a significant amount of time and money to complete.

If you seek legal advice from specialist commercial property dispute solicitors, they will always try to resolve your claim amicably at the first instance. Should litigation be your only option, they will defend your position and interests in court.

There’s no set timeframe to resolve a commercial property dispute. How long it takes depends on a number of factors, including the circumstances of the transaction and the methods used to resolve the dispute. Alternative dispute resolution practices such as mediation and arbitration can yield faster results than litigation, making it better to seek an amicable solution wherever possible.

Seeking assistance from experienced commercial property litigation lawyers offers you the best possible chance of securing a positive result. They will work with you throughout the process to provide a tailored solution designed to reach your goals, while being open about your position.
