An Introduction to Litigating Commercial Disputes - Live at Your Desk

Introduction

This virtual classroom course run over two sessions will consider issues typically arising in commercial disputes and will discuss the 'commercial litigator's mindset'.

Commercial litigation means different things in different contexts but usually involves at least one business organisation; often all involved parties meet that description. They expect their lawyers to be 'commercial'. What does that mean?

Pursuing commercial litigation can be a significant risk for any business because it can rebound badly, not only by the business losing but also having to pay both sides’ costs. Commercial litigators therefore have to be at the top of their game, tactically and procedurally.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will run over the following aspects of commercial litigation:

• Preventative measures taken before litigation is commenced, or instead of it
• Which are the best courts in which to issue a claim in a commercial dispute?
• Critical legal areas which may be involved in commercial litigation cases
• Tactics, particularly highlighting how you can put an opponent at a disadvantage as a case progresses
• Avoiding 'the quicksand' in commercial litigation
• The key matters a commercial litigation lawyer needs to know
