Commercial agents

 

Our team of leading dispute resolution lawyers regularly advise on the legal consequences of terminating a commercial agency agreement. We specialise in the Commercial Agents Regulations and regularly draft and negotiate commercial agency agreements for clients and advise them when they have disputes.

We also offer commercial agents and businesses that retain commercial agents a fixed fee “health-check” of their agency agreement, to check their rights are adequately protected.

We regularly act in claims arising from share sales, including warranty and earn-out disputes, and also disputes between shareholders over the company`s strategy, particularly where the parties have equal voting rights. Our primary objective is always to achieve a pragmatic solution to preserve the value in the business and minimise the paralysing effect such disputes can have.

Pragmatic, early and effective advice is required to ensure that recall campaigns are carried out in appropriate cases and robust defences where appropriate to fully support our clients. We offer one off or regular helpline services for our clients, and same-day pragmatic advice on legal and commercial issues.
