How can we help?

We advise on the full spectrum of disputes. Whether you are looking to commence a claim or defend a claim against you, we are confident that we can help you achieve your objectives. In many cases, it may be possible to settle without litigation – for example, through Alternative Dispute Resolution. However, when necessary our commercial property solicitors will litigate robustly in order to seek a satisfactory outcome.

Advice and representation for all manner of commercial property disputes

We act for landowners, developers, landlords, tenants, and professional advisors in assisting them to resolve their disputes effectively and efficiently. We offer a full range of commercial property legal services including advice on:

• Contentious and non-contentious business lease renewals
• Lease surrender
• Rent and service charge recovery and negotiations
• Landlord and tenant disputes
• Breach of restrictive covenants disputes
• Dilapidations claims and property repair disputes
• Forfeiture and possession
• Insolvency
• Disputes with owners of neighbouring properties (e.g. rights of way, rights to light, boundary disputes and party wall disputes)

• Professional negligence claims arising out of the sale and purchase of commercial premises

We understand that commercial property disputes can cause significant disruption to a business. Litigation may not always the right approach, so we closely analyse the commercial needs of our business clients when advising on the best approach for seeking resolution in a dispute.

We also consider it a priority to resolve property-related disputes before costs spiral or become unmanageable. Although we strive to settle disputes with a minimum of cost, disruption and litigation, employing alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods whenever appropriate, we will undertake Court proceedings whenever necessary.

Whether you are already in a dispute or you are anticipating a problem, the commercial property dispute solicitors at Wellers can provide authoritative and pragmatic advice and solutions to secure your interests.
