Background

Dispute Resolution (Business)

Resolving business disputes

At some point in our lives many of us will end up in a hard-to-resolve dispute with someone – whether it is an employee, a neighbour, a tenant or someone we are doing business with. Our Dispute Resolution team will help you to resolve that dispute either by negotiation or, if necessary, court action. We can help with the following:

Commercial Disputes

We can advise you on how to deal with corporate disputes whether they be commercial or contractual disputes or shareholder/partnership disputes.

Professional Negligence

We can advise you if you feel that a professional you have employed has been negligent or if you are a professional yourself against whom an allegation of negligence has been made.

Property Litigation

We can act for you in matters concerning business lease renewals, possession proceedings, dilapidation claims, rural and farming tenancy matters and boundary disputes.

Fraud

We can help to seek financial recovery in fraud cases or to defend you if you are the subject of freezing or disclosure orders.

There was always someone on hand to answer questions. The advice given was very detailed, and the approach thorough. Clearly the lawyer and assistants knew exactly how to deal with an eviction and foresaw any potential pitfalls. At all times, they were polite and helpful. Highly recommended.


Hunt & Coombs have been my solicitors for over 20 years. I have every confidence in their advice and services.


Very professional service, reliable and clear to clients in all aspects during and after the case had been dealt with. Much obliged.


"Very reliable, efficient, pleasure to deal with on consistent basis... I have never had any complaints about manner or otherwise and have highly recommended the firm to family / friends over the years based on my experiences with Hunt & Coombs."


"Paul Tate was my initial contact who quickly put me onto the best contact. It was quick and efficient. The advice enabled me to make an informed decision."


They consistently deliver in terms of customer service, knowledge, and most importantly winning claims/cases for our company.


Happy old customer.


Excellent service at all times - very professional. Thanks to all members of the team.


Recommended by a friend. During Xmas holidays, Hunt & Coombs were open for a few days. We got the appointment straight away with the solicitor. Our matter was handled efficiently.
