Regardless of the nature of the dispute, we will provide advice and guidance to assist you in resolving the problems. Whether you are having issues with premises, struggling to be paid for work that has been completed, or in the midst of a dispute between the owners of the business, our specialist team is here to help.
Our aim is to provide an efficient and effective solution to any business dispute. Discreet, professional and efficient, we work to minimise conflict and resolve disagreements in the most appropriate manner.

Frequently asked questions
What is commercial litigation?
Commercial litigation is the process of resolving disputes that arise in business, whether through negotiation, mediation, or the courts. It covers a wide range of disagreements, from unpaid invoices to fallouts between business owners. Brockbanks Solicitors combines legal know-how with commercial understanding to resolve disputes in the way that best suits your business.
What kinds of business disputes can Brockbanks help with?
We act for businesses in disputes over premises, unpaid work, contracts, and disagreements between company owners, among others. Whether it’s a one-off problem or a complex, multi-party dispute, we tailor our approach to your business and your priorities. Brockbanks Solicitors represents sole traders, SMEs and larger companies across a broad range of sectors.
Does a commercial dispute always end up in court?
No — many disputes are resolved without ever reaching a courtroom, through negotiation or methods such as mediation. Going to court is sometimes necessary, but it’s usually quicker and less disruptive to settle a dispute another way where that’s possible. Brockbanks Solicitors will advise on the most appropriate route for your situation and represent you in court, at tribunal, or in mediation as needed.
Why does acting quickly matter in a business dispute?
Disputes have a habit of escalating, and the longer they run, the more they can drain time, money and attention from running your business. Getting advice early often means more options and a better chance of a swift resolution. Brockbanks Solicitors aims to manage disputes efficiently so the impact on your business is kept to a minimum.
How can litigation affect my business while it's ongoing?
Beyond the legal costs, a dispute can be a real distraction, taking focus away from customers, staff and growth. That’s why handling it efficiently and in the right manner matters so much. Brockbanks Solicitors works discreetly and practically to resolve disagreements with as little disruption to your day-to-day operations as possible.
How do I get advice about a commercial dispute?
The best starting point is a conversation about what’s gone wrong and what you want to achieve. You can call our Whitehaven office on 08081 965462, request a callback through our website, or book a meeting at one of our offices across Cumbria. Brockbanks Solicitors will help you understand your position and recommend the most effective way forward.
