Frequently Asked Questions

Contract disputes arise when a party within a contract fails to do what is required of them. They usually occur due to a disagreement regarding terms or one individual or business breaching the terms of the deal. A contract dispute can occur with both written and verbal commitments and must be dealt with quickly to limit financial and reputational damage.

There are several types of contract disputes, such as breach of contract, issues over the sale of goods or services, and misrepresentation or negligence. They can often be extremely complex in nature and require specialist legal advice to resolve the matter as swiftly and painlessly as possible.

The exact process and timeframe to resolve a commercial contract dispute varies for each transaction. Achieving an amicable outcome via mediation is preferable as it can reduce the time needed to reach a conclusion, while significantly lowering costs. If this is not possible, litigation will be the only option — something that could take months or even years to sort out.
