Matters that fall within the category of commercial disputes can be broad and varied. The benefit of obtaining legal advice from a commercial solicitor who is also involved in civil disputes can be significant. A claim against someone in commercial law may also relate to or have ancillary issues that are not strictly commercial in nature. A commercial lawyer who also has experience in civil cases will have the added advantage of seeing the bigger picture. Commercial law firms which have varied practice areas may have a greater array of intellectual resources to draw from when dealing with a complex (or even a simple) commercial dispute.
Some of the main areas of commercial disputes that one of our commercial lawyers can assist a client with are as follows:
- Contracts
- Agency agreements
- Franchises
- Employment relations
- Union negotiations
- Intellectual property
- Trade marks
- Copyright
- Patents
- Property disputes
- Real property
- Chattels and personal property
The list above is not exhaustive and many other areas may be relevant to a commercial case. The torts of negligence and issues arising from privacy and confidentiality may also play a role. These are all matters that a civil litigation law firm may also contribute its resources to when dealing with the surrounding contextual issues in commercial matters.
Other matters commercial dispute litigation matters often involve the interpretation of insurance policies, their terms and conditions, exclusion clauses, applicability for a specific industry and disputes regarding insurance companies and their alleged failure to make payments of the terms of an existing policy. Remedies which may be considered in commercial disputes will range from the common statutory remedies under the commercial legislative schemes to the principles articulated in common law and equity.
