Contract claims

There is enough to worry about when running a business, so when contract disputes are raised it can be stressful and unduly time consuming. We will work with you to make the process as painless as possible; aiming to resolve your issues as quickly as we can.

We have noticed a sharp rise in this kind of dispute, attributable in part to years of increased financial pressures and economic uncertainty. The positive of this is that we have been able to further enhance our expertise and can deliver our extensive knowledge to you and ensure your case is effectively handled from start to finish.

Our experience is spread across a diverse mix of sectors, so we are confident we can help you, no matter what your industry. We act for entrepreneurs and sole traders, limited companies, LLPs, partnerships and charitable and non-profit making organisations. We will work closely with you to ensure that we understand the nature of your business and your objectives before advising you.

We have dealt with contracts in many areas of the law, including:

• Agency and distribution contracts
• Supply contracts
• Sale and purchase of goods and/or services
• Franchise agreements
• Joint ventures
• Research and development agreements
• Outsourcing and subcontracting
• Intellectual property and information technology
• E-commerce
• Warranties, indemnities and exclusion clauses
• Misrepresentation

As ever, if we feel we can meet your needs out of court, we will do our best to make this happen. For your initial chat and to help us establish your needs appropriately, please contact Andrew Mawdsley on 01423 542 771 or email AndrewMawdsley@berwin.co.uk.
