Chasing unpaid invoices or dealing with disputes relating to contracts can be stressful, tying up valuable resources and often putting significant financial pressures on a company.
At Palmers Solicitors our expert commercial dispute team can advise you in all aspects of commercial debt litigation, whether this is pursued by way of standard court proceedings or by statutory demand (where a debt is not disputed) and petition for the winding up of a company or for the bankruptcy of an individual.
Debts and other financial losses resulting from breach of contract
If your business has suffered a financial loss as a result of a breach of contract, you are entitled to seek legal redress. In fact, the law states that you have a right to expect that the damages awarded are sufficient to restore your business to a position as though the breach never happened.
Our expert dispute resolution team can advise you on the best course of action to resolve a range of breach of contract issues including:
- Misrepresentation
- Sale of goods/supply of goods and services disputes (i.e faulty goods or faulty services)
- General failure to do what someone has said they would
- Negligence
We are able to utilise our experience to assist you, both in deciding which procedure is most likely to result in the recovery of money owed and assessing your prospects of success. We are also mindful that costs are often the key concern with matters of this kind and we therefore offer a cost effective debt recovery scheme and fixed costs at various stages of the debt recovery process, details of which can be found here. This ensures that you retain control of the costs you incur at all stages.
