Commercial/Business Litigation
BRISTOL COMMERCIAL LITIGATION SOLICITORS
We recognise that a business dispute is like having a toothache and going to the dentist. Just like a toothache, the problem is unwanted, generally unplanned for and the pain is compounded by having to pay money to try and resolve the problem.
There is seldom a quick fix when matters have reached a point where a client feels it necessary to litigate. In this area, good advice, taken at an early stage, can be critical, as tactics are often very important. We also strongly recommend that whilst a hard nosed approach can work in some circumstances, a willingness to try alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, can be a better and cheaper option to pursuing a case through the courts to the bitter end.
Good litigation advice
There are some situations where litigation is unavoidable, and in those circumstances a skilled litigator can make all the difference. In a sense, litigation solicitors need to have somewhat opposing skills. On the one hand, there are very detailed and strict rules to follow in the Civil procedure rules, and in that sense, strong asademic and technica;l skills are paramount. On the other hand, good litigation solicitors oftenm also need nouse, an instinct and tactical awareness akin to playing a game of poker or chess. perhaps as important as anything else is the need to “know your opponent” and to always retain a willingness to considera commercail settlement, since the court tules and enforcement procedures are les than perfect.
