Commercial Litigation

Few people view the prospect of having to resort to or to defend legal proceedings with enthusiasm. Commercial litigation is often thought of as time consuming and particularly expensive. At Canter Levin & Berg, we take the view that by applying our specialist skills in this field, we are able to provide a comprehensive, efficient and productive service while ensuring that it is cost-efficient to our clients and causes them as little inconvenience as possible.

At the initial consultation, we will provide you with our first impression of the merits of the dispute and give you an indication of the potential exposure to costs. We will explain what action we consider to be appropriate and how long it is likely to take to be achieved. If we do not consider that the matter is worthwhile pursuing, we will advise you accordingly at the outset and if appropriate, propose and negotiate terms for settlement.

If the matter requires urgent attention, for example, to protect your trading position, we have the resources to ensure that your work is prioritised accordingly. We have direct access to a wide range of experienced professional consultants and if it is necessary to instruct a barrister, we will make sure that the barrister has experience in dealing with disputes of a similar nature.

In particular, we specialise in the following areas of work:

• Construction disputes
• Sales of goods/supply of goods and services
• Professional negligence
• Finance
• Property
• Company and partnership disputes
• Accidents in the workplace
• Infringement of intellectual property rights
