Commercial Litigation Lawyers

Our Commercial Litigation Services

Debt Recovery

Chasing overdue invoices or unpaid services? We help businesses and individuals recover debts using letters of demand, statutory demands, and court action where necessary. We are also highly effective at negotiating early settlements to save you time and cost.

Enforcement of Judgments

Need to enforce a judgment? Winning a court case is only part of the process. We assist clients with enforcing judgments, using targeted, cost-effective legal tools to help recover what is owed to you.

Defamation

Reputation matters. If someone has made false or damaging claims, or if you’ve received a concerns notice, we’ll advise you on your legal options and next steps. We also offer pre-publication advice to individuals and media outlets to help avoid legal risks before content is published.

Contract Disputes

Disagreements over business contracts can cause major disruption. You need to know your rights and where you stand. 

Whether you are looking to enforce your rights or defend a claim, we give clear advice on how to resolve contract disputes through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings if needed.

Family Farm Disputes

Succession and ownership disputes involving family farms often involve complex relationships and legal issues. We act for clients dealing with inheritance disagreements, asset control, and unclear succession planning, helping to resolve matters in a way that protects both family relationships and long-term business interests.

Common Client Concerns We Help With

• “I’ve just been served, what do I do now?”
• “They won’t pay, and I can’t afford to wait any longer.”
• “This contract has gone sideways. Can you get me out of it?”
• “Someone’s made false claims about me or my business.”
• “I’ve spent months chasing this debt. Is it worth taking legal action?”
• “They’ve breached the agreement, but now they’re threatening to sue me.”
• “The contract doesn’t reflect what we actually agreed. Do I have a leg to stand on?”
• “I want to resolve this quickly. Do I have to go to court?”
