Commercial Disputes

We recognise that disputes are an unfortunate, but sometimes inevitable part of commercial life. We also appreciate that disputes can be costly. Both in the time and money required to try and resolve them but also in the time that they take away from what you do best, running your business. Our experience is that the best way we can assist you in resolving a dispute is to first understand your business and commercial objectives and it is only in fully appreciating your business and its goals that the most effective legal advice can be provided

We routinely deal with a range of commercial matters, to include contractual disputes from a variety of sectors, director and shareholder disputes, construction disputes and disputes flowing from restrictions in either employment or service contracts. We are also very experienced in advising on confidential information and data protection breaches as well as a variety of intellectual property disputes.

Alternative Dispute Resolution - ADR

If your business is tied up in a dispute, you’ll know how stressful and time consuming it can be to deal with. Litigating your dispute in Court is often expensive, lengthy and uncertain, so it’s always advisable to consider alternative methods of dispute resolution. Here at Nash & Co Solicitors in Plymouth, we pride ourselves on helping our clients to resolve their disputes through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, including mediation, arbitration and adjudication. 

We will advise you on the most appropriate form of ADR available to you and will guide you through the process, with the goal of ensuring the resolution to your dispute without the need for court proceedings. We have achieved success via ADR with a remarkable variety of clients, from international sports teams and national construction firms to local SMEs and individuals. Whoever you are and whatever your dispute, we have experience in advising on the most efficient, cost effective and timely means to resolution.

Asset and Debt Recovery

We understand that running a business can be complicated and that unpaid debt can have a significant impact on your cash flow. Given the implications for payroll and the payment of your own creditors and suppliers, it is vital to consider debt recovery action at an early stage.

We have a wealth of experience in advising on the recovery of unpaid debts and assets, to include all types of civil enforcement. We have worked with business of all shapes and sizes, from SMEs to international firms, companies and organisations in recovering funds. As such, we appreciate the importance of a prompt and bespoke approach and the need for clear and concise advice on the risks and rewards associated with any given strategy. There is no value in throwing good money after bad; pursuing funds or assets that no longer exist or cannot be recovered.

Professional Negligence

We understand that, from time to time, professionals fall short of what is expected of them and what they are engaged to do. Sometimes, the standard is so low it could be negligent and cause financial loss. This may entitle you to bring a claim for professional negligence.

We regularly advise both professionals and their former clients. This gives us a particular perspective and means the advise we are able to provide on your own options is as comprehensive as it can be. We will work with you to advise on the legal position and the risks and merits of any potential claim. We will also negotiate on your behalf with a view to reaching early settlement, whether in respect of lost profits, loss of opportunity or reputational damage.

Our solicitors are experienced in advising on claims both for and against a variety of professionals, including solicitors, surveyors and accountants.

Property Disputes

Commercial property disputes can come in all shapes and sizes but all present financial risks to your business. Our solicitors understand this. We regularly work with local, regional and national landlords and developers and recognise that there is no substitute for a close working relationship where we take the time to understand your business and commercial objectives. Whether advising on the disputed interpretation of a lease, possible rights of forfeiture or trespass or whether we are asked to advise on lease renewal, opposing a lease renewal or acting to bring a lease to an end, it is the relationships that we have developed with our clients that enable us to provide the most effective, relevant and prompt advice.

We are also very experienced in advising on residential property disputes, to include advising on possession and eviction proceedings and associated enforcement action. Our solicitors regularly advise clients on applications under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996. We recognise that residential property matters can be particularly stressful and it is important, from the outset, that we provide pragmatic advice and consider the availability of alternatives to court action.
