Commercial Litigation Solicitors across Yorkshire, Cumbria and the North East

Disputes happen in business. At Newtons, we strive to resolve commercial disputes as fast and cost-effectively as possible.

Our commercial dispute resolution team can offer expert advice, whether you are a large established business or a small sole trader. We are very experienced in dealing with any legal challenges you may be facing. 

One of the big issues with commercial litigation is (unfortunately) the legal costs, particularly given that the unsuccessful party can end up paying the majority of their opponent’s legal fees either as a result of a court order or a clause in the contract. Part of our job is to quickly assess the litigation risks that are involved and work with our clients to decide the best way of resolving the problem cost-effectively.  Often, this is through a negotiated settlement, but sometimes there is just no avoiding hard-fought court proceedings. 

Commercial Dispute Resolution

Whichever route is taken (and often it is a mixture of the two) our focus will always be winning your case on the best possible terms.
