SME Legal Advice & Dispute Resolution

Although our clients range from sole traders to limited liability companies (LTD), the core of our instructions comes from small and medium-sized businesses. Our corporate barristers can provide SME legal advice and support, as we recognise that small business is the lifeblood of the UK and many countries abroad.

The small business legal advice team at Mercantile Barristers has skilled and experienced lawyers to provide tactical and strategic advice for small businesses that find themselves in a dispute. This enables our barristers to either give pre-emptive or retrospective legal advice to protect, or recover, our clients’ position – a change in dynamics compared to a solicitor or traditional commercial law firm.

Example Disputes ‍

Disputes may arise when one party considers their position prejudiced or the other party takes undue advantage of their privileged position, which is often an unavoidable part of small business and commercial relationships and transactions. This may be internally amongst small business partners, leading to small business shareholder disputes and small business director disputes.

Small Business and commercial disputes also arise externally when there is a breach of contract by one party against the other, a retort of negligence is committed in the course of a professional relationship, or a party has breached a statutory duty.
