Commercial Disputes, Torts and Contracts
A number of members undertake both general and specialist civil work outside the scope of the other law teams. This work covers the full range of private and commercial disputes in the fields of contract, negligence, nuisance and other torts, building disputes, breach of statutory duty and related areas. Some members have particular experience of contractual claims involving defective goods or foods that were never supplied, whether or not giving rise to exclusion clauses issues. We have regularly acted in disputes over title to goods and in claims brought for the recovery of goods. In addition to a wide range of private clients, this work is also undertaken for business clients ranging from sole traders to national companies, insurers, and financial institutions. Within this general common law area there are members who have particular expertise in claims arising from professional negligence by surveyors, accountants, solicitors, auditors, valuers, architects, engineers and financial institutions.
