Business & Commercial

Our experienced Commercial Law team, one of the largest at Pump Court, advises businesses, owners, directors and clients and customers on almost every aspect of business and commerce.

From structural and ownership issues to warranties, commercial fraud and asset recovery, we advise corporate and individual clients on the most appropriate and cost-effective strategy and tactics to achieve their goals and protect their businesses, assets and reputations.

We regularly deal with consumer rights and protection, representing individuals and businesses in disputes arising from the sale of goods, provision of credit or the supply of services. We are experienced in providing advice and representation in respect of professional negligence claims involving accountants, architects, financial advisors, legal representatives, project managers and surveyors.

We have wide-ranging experience in construction and trade disputes and can assist with claims of any size, from disputes for tens of thousands of pounds to those measured in the millions.

Our team provides assistance in all matters of insolvency and its consequences, whether these relate to individual bankruptcy or corporate liquidation or administration.

We have team members who have been called to the bar in Nigeria and the British Virgin Islands. We can provide advice and representation in respect of a wide range of international legal issues including the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitration awards in the UK.

Our barristers have particular expertise in disputes involving interim injunctions, especially freezing and search orders, and a track record of successfully obtaining injunctive relief for our clients and discharging those obtained by their opponents.

We are experienced in all forms of commercial dispute resolution, including acting before and as arbitrators and mediators, and regularly serve as experts on English law in disputes involving overseas jurisdictions.

Whether you have a contentious or non-contentious matter, we can provide you with the right level of expertise at all levels of the judicial hierarchy. We can also draw on the expertise of a number of closely related specialist areas within Pump Court, such as employment, business crime and regulatory.
