A business dispute is another term for a disagreement. It can arise between one or more company owner and a related stakeholder. This could include a director, employee, supplier, client or fellow shareholder. There are certain common business disputes that can arise in any business or organisation, no matter the size or age of the business. However, there are ways that these common business disputes can be avoided. Our corporate lawyers in Peterborough can help you avoid these common business disputes.

A business dispute will often involve a clash of interests. This could be in relation to contracts, payments, performance, ownership rights, customer service, conduct of employees and more. While most common business disputes can be dealt with through a conversation, some will take more time and attention.

For example, contract disputes can arise with disagreements surrounding the terms and the interpretation of them. This could include breaches of contract, late deliveries, faulty goods or service failures. Our corporate solicitors can help draft contracts that properly protect your business.

There can be times that a business can face allegations of misrepresentation. If this occurs it can lead to a rescission of the contract. It could also lead to claims for compensation. This is something that our commercial lawyers in Peterborough can help you prepare for. We can also support you through the process of the misrepresentation claim.
