FAQ Topics

What is commercial dispute resolution?

Commercial dispute resolution is the process of resolving disagreements that arise in a business context. This can include disputes over contracts, suppliers, restrictive covenants, or confidential information. At Bennett Oakley Solicitors, we aim to resolve disputes efficiently through negotiation or mediation, avoiding court where possible.

Do all business disputes have to go to court?

No, many commercial disputes can be resolved through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as negotiation or mediation. These approaches are often quicker, less expensive, and less damaging to ongoing business relationships than litigation.

How long does it take to resolve a commercial dispute?

The timescale depends on the complexity of the case and the willingness of both parties to reach an agreement. Some disputes can be resolved in weeks through negotiation, while others, if they proceed to court, can take many months.

How much does it cost to resolve a business dispute?

Costs vary depending on the nature of the dispute and the resolution method used. At Bennett Oakley Solicitors, we offer transparent fixed-fee pricing so you can budget for your legal expenses from the outset.
