Commonly asked questions on commercial litigation.
The law surrounding commercial litigation isn’t something most people come across on a daily basis, which is why our commercial litigation solicitors in Brighton have answered some of the most commonly asked questions on the topic.
1. What is a commercial litigation?
Commercial litigation is an umbrella term, which is used for any dispute that involves a business. These disputes will typically be more larger than personal issues, involving breaches of contract and non-performance of duties. As you can imagine, there are numerous forms of commercial disputes, which each require a separate legal procedure to reach an outcome.
2. What are some examples of commercial litigation?
Some of the most common examples of commercial litigation cases are over:
- Contract disputes
- Partnership agreement disputes
- Shareholder agreement disputes
- Commercial property and land disputes
- Debt recovery or disputed debts
- Regulatory authorities (bar standards, HM revenue and customs etc.)
- Professional negligence claims

3. What do commercial litigators do?
In simple terms, a commercial litigator will use their expertise and experience to ensure the best possible outcome is reached for your business. As a result, you can have that peace of mind that your commercial litigation matter is in safe hands.
Commercial litigation is a highly complicated area of law that requires case management from a trained professional. Improper handling of a commercial litigation matter will likely result in avoidable but costly mistakes.
4. How to resolve a commercial litigation matter?
When it comes to resolving a commercial litigation matter, there are two stages, which are:
1. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR). ADR involves using certain methods to reach an agreement outside the courts. Forms of ADR include mediation and conciliation, among others. Regardless of whether you feel ADR will work, our solicitors insist that you take this step. If the matter reaches court, the judge will look to see whether you considered ADR. In a circumstance where a party refuses to consider ADR, the courts will take a poor view of that party.
2. Take the claim to court. If ADR is ineffective, the only option you will have is to instruct a commercial litigation solicitor for your case. Our commercial litigation solicitors have the expertise in advancing commercial litigation cases to the following courts.
- County Court
- The High Court
- Specialist Tribunals & Courts
5. Do you offer legal aid for commercial litigation matters?
We are currently unable to offer legal aid in any capacity as we lack the necessary legal aid certificate. We also don’t offer pro bono property law work at present.
