Taylor Rose's commercial litigation solicitors advise businesses, directors, shareholders and individuals on substantial commercial disputes throughout England & Wales.
We act for both claimants and defendants, from early strategic advice and pre-action negotiations through mediation, urgent injunction applications, High Court proceedings, trial and enforcement.
Our experience includes multi-million-pound banking and contractual claims, shareholder and director disputes, civil fraud, substantial debt recovery, injunctions and complex commercial contract disputes.
We have a significant London presence, with our largest London office at Carter Lane in the City, together with commercial litigation lawyers operating nationally.
We advise businesses, shareholders, directors and individuals on a wide range of commercial disputes, acting for both claimants and defendants. We can become involved when a problem first develops, during negotiations or where court proceedings are already underway.
Our commercial litigation services include:
Contract disputes – claims involving breach of contract, termination, non-performance, disputed obligations, warranties, payment and damages. We advise on both bringing and defending substantial contractual claims.
Shareholder and director disputes – including disputes over control, management decisions, shareholder rights, unfair prejudice, breaches of directors' duties, misuse of company assets and disagreements over ownership or exit.
Civil fraud and asset recovery – pursuing and defending claims involving fraudulent transactions, misrepresentation, diversion of assets, dishonest conduct and the recovery of money or property.
Commercial injunctions – urgent applications to prevent assets being moved, confidential information being misused, contractual restrictions being breached or other action causing immediate commercial harm.
Commercial debt recovery – disputed and higher-value debts where straightforward debt collection is not appropriate, including contractual disputes over whether money is actually due.
Partnership and business ownership disputes – disagreements between business owners over management, money, responsibilities, conduct, ownership and how an individual or business should exit the relationship.
Professional negligence claims – claims against professional advisers where negligent advice or services have caused significant financial loss to a business or individual.
Construction and development disputes – disputes involving developers, contractors, consultants, investors and joint venture partners, including payment, delay, defective work and contractual obligations.
Insolvency-related disputes – claims arising from financially distressed businesses, including disputes involving directors, creditors, transactions, guarantees and insolvency processes.
Confidential information and business protection disputes – claims involving misuse of confidential information, restrictive covenants and conduct by former employees, directors or business partners which threatens the business.
Commercial disputes do not always fit neatly into one category. A contract dispute may also involve allegations of fraud, a shareholder dispute may require an urgent injunction, or a debt claim may develop into a wider dispute about contractual performance.
Our first priority is to understand what has happened, the value at stake, what you want to achieve and how urgently action is required. We can then advise on the strength of your position, the available options and whether negotiation, mediation, court proceedings or another approach is likely to produce the best commercial outcome.
We offer a range of fee structures and those include:
Fixed fees
Staged fixed fees, converting to hourly rates at a set stage
Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA) and Discounted Conditional Fee Agreements (DCFA) for higher value claims which may be suitable for external funding and/or payment of fees on conclusion of the case
Hourly rates where your case will be placed with a suitable lawyer at a cost proportionate to the value of your claim but all junior lawyers are s upervised by experienced Partners.
We ensure that you're fully advised of all the dispute resolution options available to you, including mediation, arbitration and negotiation. We also consider whether you can use Legal Expenses Insurance and can help you obtain After the Event (ATE) Insurance to protect against your opponent's costs if your case is unsuccessful.
Our fees are transparent at all times so you will know your legal costs as your matter progresses. We will fully explain all funding options before you sign any agreement.
We are experienced in all types of mediation and other forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) are expanding. The courts promote the use of ADR wherever possible to avoid matters going to trial.
