Commercial Disputes

For any business in any trade, commercial disputes can present an assortment of difficulties if not dealt with quickly, professionally and practically. Commercial disputes can threaten a business’s viability and repute. Our tactic when dealing with such commercial disputes is very straight-forward:

We evaluate the problem, develop a hands-on approach with the client in order to find a solution that pleases all parties and then simply resolve the matter in order to allow the continued growth of the business.

Typically, the High Court of South Africa is the key medium for settling commercial disputes. The principles of the South African common law are applied in conjunction with precedents derived from case law, and in certain instances, foreign judgments are also referred to.

However, there are also several forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that can be used outside formal court proceedings, such as arbitration or mediation. ADR has grown into a highly sought-after method of resolving commercial disputes, as it boasts the advantages of privacy, affordability and swiftness.

Depending on a client’s specific needs, we can adapt our approach to provide results that are exceptionally pleasing and satisfying. We are highly trained in providing reliable advice and following a tactical and rational thought-process that ultimately leads to resolving sensitive matters that promote the safeguarding of certain commercial associations. The client ranks as a top priority, and removing any commercial obstacles that he or she may have is the first step in achieving and maintaining an aura of excellence.
