Banking & Financial Disputes
Banking and financial disputes can put significant pressure on your business. Whether you're a corporate borrower seeking advice about the terms of your funding agreements or a lender looking to enforce your security, we can support you. We have a wealth of experience in financial dispute litigation and a strong understanding of the regulatory and commercial context these disputes often sit within. By combining legal expertise with practical commercial insight, we help you protect your position and move forward with confidence.
Review of contractual documentation
Every dispute starts with understanding the documents that govern the relationship between the parties. At the outset, we'll carry out a detailed review of the contractual documentation, assessing relevant terms and advising you on your legal position. From there, we'll identify the options available to you.
Pre-action steps
Early action can often help resolve a dispute before formal proceedings become necessary. We'll engage directly with the other party, present your position clearly and robustly, and seek an outcome that protects your interests.
Taking action
If a resolution isn't achieved during the pre-action stage, we'll advise you on the most effective next steps and work with you to take action quickly. We understand that enforcing security often requires an immediate action and we'll help you move forward without delay.
Gathering evidence
Strong evidence can make a significant difference to the outcome of a dispute. We'll guide you through your obligations to preserve relevant documents and help you identify, collect and organise the evidence needed to support your case.
Negotiation and settlement
We'll continually assess opportunities to achieve a commercial resolution and advise on the most appropriate forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and without prejudice negotiations.
Questions we’re often asked
Yes, the time limit will depend on the nature of the contractual documentation between the parties and the issues in dispute. Often time is of the essence in a finance dispute, and we will work with you, rapidly, to bring your claim. Where appropriate, we can also advise on standstill agreements to temporarily suspend limitation periods.
The type of action you can bring will depend on both your legal position and your commercial objective. If looking to enforce against a defaulting borrower, you may wish to consider whether you can appoint a receiver for example. If you are a corporate borrower alleging breach by a lender, you may wish to explore court proceedings.
We work alongside our Banking and Insolvency teams and can support you across all areas of your business needs.
