Construction Law Disputes & SME Legal Advice

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 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 advice for small business disputes to give tactical and strategic advice. 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.

From construction to engineering, as specialists in construction law disputes, we can help you.

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.

Why Choose Us

Our Direct Access Barristers

Multifaceted & Interdisciplinary

Our barristers in London are cross qualified so you don’t have to go from one solicitor’s office on the High Street to barristers’ chambers at the Inns of Court.

Excellent Value

A barrister usually has lower overheads, so this will usually be more economical than retaining the solicitor alone and will cost less than instructing both.

Maximum Efficiency

You get the earliest possible direct access to the specialist – not just when a problem gets to Court. This could save you the headache, heartache and expense of avoidable litigation.
