Litigation
Most businesses will, at some stage, be affected by a dispute requiring professional advice. Haworth & Nuttall will help to resolve the dispute as quickly and cost-effectively as possible – before, during or instead of court proceedings.
We recommend clients minimise the risk of dispute with the careful drafting of contracts and swift investigation and analysis of any potential exposure or claim.
If, despite this, your company is faced with a dispute, we have experience of handling claims of all types and values. We know that a flawed approach to dispute resolution can be costly in terms of time and money and we recognise that litigation is not always the best solution.
Traditional methods of dispute resolution involving court or tribunal proceedings will be considered as well as Arbitration or Alternative Dispute Resolution. This includes mediation, conciliation, negotiation and expert adjudication and it can save you time, money and angst.
If your case does proceed to litigation, Haworth & Nuttall lawyers will fight hard for you in a robust, structured and tenacious manner.
We regularly handle cases in areas such as:
- Commercial contracts
- Breach of confidence
- Disputes arising on business sales, acquisitions and mergers
- Professional negligence claims
- Claims regarding directors’ and officers’ liability
- Injunction proceedings
- Boundary disputes
- Landlord and tenant matters
