Contract disputes in Surrey

When one party does not comply with the terms of a contract or fulfil their obligations according to a contract, this may give rise to a breach of contract claim.

Common remedies for breach of contract include compensation, a specific performance court order, or repudiation (i.e. the act of restoring the injured party to the position they would have been in if the breach had not occurred).

Our team of dispute resolution solicitors in Surrey has experience dealing with a wide range of contractual disputes and are committed to taking a commercial approach when looking at the options for our clients. We focus on the most cost-effective methods for resolution and, in most cases, only litigate through the courts as a final recourse.
