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.

Testimonials

"I would like to thank you for the referral to Luke to help with my problem. From the minute I walked anxiously into the building on 5 November 2025 I was made to feel welcome by the reception staff and the member of staff who collected me for my appointment. Luke put me at ease straight away. He listened to my story, asked pertinent questions where appropriate and guided me through the process. Also, reassured me that I was taking the correct steps. He composed an amazing letter for me which set out all the issues I was having a problem with and made sure it was understood by the recipients that they needed to think very carefully about their actions in the future. Consequently I have had no further issues and Luke has not received any correspondence from them either. I would not hesitate to use Hunt & Coombs again for any future issues I may have. Thank you once again."
