Representation in UK courts in commercial disputes

Representation in UK courts in commercial disputes

Doing business in the United Kingdom is associated not only with the advantages of a stable jurisdiction, but also with high standards of legal regulation. If a conflict arises between partners, clients or suppliers, especially involving a foreign company, professional representation in UK courts in commercial disputes is crucial.
Consultant Law Firm provides comprehensive support in commercial matters: from pre-trial settlement to full procedural support in the High Court, County Court or arbitration (LCIA, ICC, etc.). Our lawyers and partners have experience in contract disputes, corporate conflicts, debt cases, breach of contract, and transnational commercial proceedings.

Representation in commercial courts in the United Kingdom

Commercial disputes in the United Kingdom are considered in accordance with transparent and effective procedures, but with strict adherence to the Civil Procedure Rules. To effectively protect the interests of a company, it is important to engage lawyers who not only know British law, but are also familiar with the specifics of business practice.
Consultant's experienced lawyers represent clients in the following cases:

1. Breach of contract.
2. 
   Corporate disputes (between company participants, regarding rights to shares or management).
3. 
   Disputes over debt and non-payment.
4. 
   Claims in the field of construction, development, and procurement.
5. 
   International commercial disputes involving non-residents.
6. 
   Interim measures (injunctions, freezing orders).
7. 
   Enforcement of foreign court decisions in the United Kingdom.

We prepare a complete set of procedural documents, represent the client in court, coordinate communication with local barristers, and ensure maximum protection of business interests.

Pre-trial settlement and claims handling

Pre-trial communication plays a special role in the United Kingdom: courts require evidence that the parties have attempted to resolve the conflict voluntarily. That is why high-quality claims handling can be the key to a quick and less costly resolution of the dispute.
What we do at the pre-trial stage:

• We send formal claims (Letter Before Claim).
• 
  We negotiate with the counterparty.
• 
  We analyse the possible risks of litigation.
• 
  We prepare documents, correspondence and contracts as evidence.
• 
  We assess the chances of a win rate and potential costs.

In many cases, high-quality preparation for court stimulates the other party to seek an amicable settlement or mediation, which saves money and time.

Representation in the High Court, County Court and arbitration

• County Court — disputes up to £100,000 or simpler cases;
• 
  High Court (Business and Property Courts) — complex commercial disputes, transnational cases, claims > £100,000;
• 
  Arbitration (LCIA, ICC) — in accordance with the arbitration clause in the contract.

Representation in arbitration requires special skills — we prepare memoranda, coordinate arbitration proceedings and enforce arbitral awards in the United Kingdom.
