Commercial Disputes

If you have found yourself in a dispute regarding a contract or agreement, don't navigate the complexities of the legal system alone. Contact John Hodge Solicitors today for expert guidance and support.

Commercial Legal Disputes can have significant consequences, often resulting in financial loss, frustration and distress. Our team of experienced solicitors understands the intricacies of civil and commercial litigation and are committed to helping our clients achieve the best possible outcome.

Commercial Disputes can arise in various contexts and at John Hodge Solicitors we are experienced in advising and representing all types of individual and business clients in relation to:

• building disputes
• consumer law
• disputes arising from contracts for the purchase of goods and/or services
• misrepresentation
• insurance disputes
• commercial contract disputes
• enforcement of judgments

At John Hodge Solicitors, we believe in the power of listening. We take the time to understand your concerns, objectives, and priorities, allowing us to develop a personalised legal strategy that addresses your needs effectively. Our team will guide you through every step of the legal process, providing clear and practical advice to help you make informed decisions.

We recognise that each case is unique, and we approach every matter with the attention to detail and dedication it deserves. We will explore with you the different funding options that might be available, including Conditional Fee Agreements (“no win, no fee”), Legal Expenses Insurance and competitive hourly rates. Our solicitors are skilled negotiators and litigators, equipped to handle even the most complex commercial disputes with professionalism and tenacity.

If your case is funded by a Conditional Fee Agreement, if your claim is successful, the success fee is deducted from your compensation, when your compensation is received. The success fee is case dependant. We may advise you to take insurance to support the funding of your claim. The insurance premium is deducted from your compensation in the event your claim is successful when the compensation is received.  The amount of the premium depends upon the type of case, and we will advise you if in your clam insurance is recommended and if so what the premium deductions from your compensation will be. Unless you abandon your claim against our advice you will pay the success fee and insurance premium. In some cases where the amount of costs that you can claim from your opponent are fixed, we may require a limited shortfall to be paid from your compensation, but if this applies to your case, we will tell you at the start. You will also need to pay disbursements, which are the costs related to your matter which are payable to third parties, such as expert report fees but if your claim is successful we seek to recover the cost from your opponent.

With offices conveniently located throughout the South West, we are accessible to clients across the region. Whether you are based in Bridgwater, Bristol, Clevedon, Wedmore, Weston super Mare and Yatton or beyond, our team is ready to provide the legal support you need.
