Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will commercial litigation cost my business?

Commercial litigation costs vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the amount in dispute, and how vigorously it is defended. We offer various fee arrangements including fixed fees for certain services, hourly rates, and in some cases, conditional fee agreements. We provide detailed cost estimates at the outset and regular updates as your case progresses, ensuring full transparency.

How long does commercial litigation typically take?

The timeframe for commercial litigation depends on the complexity of the case and whether it can be settled before trial. Simple cases may resolve in 6-12 months, while complex matters can take 18 months or longer. We focus on resolving disputes efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration where appropriate, but will pursue litigation robustly when necessary to protect your business interests.

Will my business dispute definitely end up in court?

No, most commercial disputes are resolved before reaching trial. We explore all alternative dispute resolution methods including negotiation, mediation, and arbitration to reach cost-effective solutions. However, we prepare thoroughly for court proceedings from the outset to strengthen your position during settlement discussions and are fully prepared to litigate when necessary to achieve your commercial objectives.

Do you handle international commercial disputes?

Yes, we have experience with cross-border commercial disputes and understand the complexities of international litigation, including jurisdictional issues and enforcement of judgments. We can advise on which jurisdiction would be most favorable for your case and work with foreign legal experts when necessary to protect your interests in international business disputes.
