Commercial Litigation

We also have extensive experience in commercial defence for debt recovery proceedings, including filing of Defences, drafting of evidence for hearing and negotiations towards settlement.
Partnership & Shareholder Disputes
Disputes between business partners are very common and can be highly emotional. To ensure the best outcome for all parties, it is essential that you seek professional advice. Our commercial lawyers can help you resolve disputes arising from all types of partnership agreements, including contracts, verbal agreements, the supply of goods and services and sale of business.
Commercial Agreements
We regularly negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements for our clients, including intellectual property, licensing, distribution and manufacturing.
