Taking control of a complex situation.
Not every contract dispute starts with a poorly drafted agreement. Relationships change, circumstances evolve and parties may have understood terms differently. I assess contractual rights and duties and the best way to enforce them.
Contract interpretation
Where terms are disputed, I examine the wording, the circumstances in which the contract was concluded and what the parties could reasonably understand from each other.
Performance and breach
If contractual performance is lacking, I consider remedies including specific performance, damages, suspension and termination, as well as any required prior steps.
Business relationships
Disputes about termination, amendment or liability in long-term contractual relationships can have major consequences. I help identify risks and proportionate solutions.
Negotiation and litigation
Where an out-of-court solution is possible, we pursue it. When judicial proceedings are necessary, a clear analysis of the facts and a sound litigation strategy are central.
