An Introduction to Litigating Commercial Disputes - Live at Your Desk

Introduction

This virtual classroom session will consider issues typically arising in commercial disputes.

Many commercial litigation cases involve arguments over a contract where the contractual relationship has either broken down, or a party wants some terms of the contract to be applied while another wishes to avoid it.

Pursuing this type of litigation can be a significant risk for any business because it can rebound badly, not only by the business losing but also having to pay both sides’ costs.

Commercial litigators therefore have to be at the top of their game, tactically and procedurally.
