Our commercial litigation solicitors advise on all areas of commercial litigation. Whilst we believe it is always best to try to reach a commercial settlement outside of court, if litigation is required, we provide expert and robust representation.
We look for ways to achieve a commercially acceptable and pragmatic resolution that works for your business; we know how distracting commercial litigation can become.

Commercial litigation services
Whilst our commercial litigators will listen to you and take the time to understand your business dispute, we will make sure to ask all the right questions. That is because our commercial litigation services are both commercial and strategic. We do not believe in big bills with little to show in results.
The specialist commercial litigation lawyers at IMD Solicitors pride themselves on their upfront and honest appraisals of your litigation case’s strengths and weaknesses. We will carry out a thorough analysis of the commercial dispute and discuss what you want to achieve out of the litigation to find the best course of action for you.
At IMD Solicitors, our commercial litigators will advise and update you on:
- Your dispute resolution options so you can weigh up the benefits of litigation over ADR settlement;
- Developments in case law or new facts that justify a review of the litigation strategy
- likely costs of litigation
- timescales
- jurisdictional and cross-border issues
The commercial litigation cost-benefit analysis
