Commercial Contract Dispute Solicitors

Resolving Breach of Contract and Contract Disputes

When a disagreement arises between parties over a written contract, leading to a dispute, the experienced team of solicitors at KANGS will help you resolve matters swiftly and effectively.

Whether you are supplying goods or services, business transactions usually involve contract agreements, and any disputes that arise can have substantial impact on both parties.

Commercial contracts may include a dispute resolution clause, which sets out how and where disputes will be resolved. In circumstances where the Courts of England and Wales are the appropriate forum to resolve your dispute, our solicitors use this as the starting point to engagement and any form of alternative dispute resolution we undertake.

However, if there is not a pre-agreed dispute clause our experienced team will help you devise a strategy to find a swift and cost effective way forward. We advise and represent clients in the following contractual disputes:
  • Breach of Contract
  • Shareholder & Partnership disputes
  • Contract Interpretation
  • Tortious Interference

Contract Dispute Resolution

There are all sorts of contracts that occur every day. Some are straightforward – the purchasing of your petrol or buying a sandwich. These types of contracts do not have formal express terms associated with them. For a company offering its goods and/or services to another company (a B2B contract) or to an individual consumer (a B2C contract), in the main, it is beneficial for that company to have a formal written contract that clearly identifies what services and/or goods are being provided by the company and what it expects in return.

Whilst it is not always necessary to have a formal, written contract, when engaging in commercial transactions, there are significant benefits to having a written contract because it assists in evidencing what the Parties were required to do under the contract, rather than being reliant upon what was believed to have been orally agreed.

Our contract dispute solicitors have extensive experience and a proven history of success in achieving favourable outcomes for our clients. Our team includes trained mediators who aim to resolve disputes early and cost-effectively through alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

What is a contract dispute?

A commercial contract dispute arises when parties disagree over whether the terms of a contract have been met or will be met. The most common type of contract disputes we encounter involve breaches of contract, particularly in relation to service agreements and intellectual property.

How to resolve a contract dispute?

There are two main ways of resolving a contract dispute - formal litigation through the Court or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR encompasses a range of methods such as mediation that parties may adopt to resolve a contract dispute. It is generally more cost effective than court-based litigation and disputes tend to be resolved much more quickly.

Sometimes there is no alternative to litigation, but our view is that it should be the last resort. This is because litigation is time consuming, it is expensive (both in terms of the initial fees that may need to be paid and the prospect of having to pay your opponent’s fees if you are unsuccessful) and offers no guaranteed outcome.

What is a breach of contract?

A breach of contract occurs when a contract has been broken, which can be in a number of ways, such as a material breach, where the ‘injured party’ does not receive the benefit specified in the contract, or an actual breach, where one party fails to fulfil their contractual obligations.
