Commercial Disputes
Disputes resolved early where possible, and fought properly where not
A dispute is a distraction from running the business. Our job is to end it on the best available terms, as early as we can, and to tell you honestly when walking away is the better deal.
How we work
Early assessment: Within two weeks you have a written view of your position, the likely outcomes, and what each route would cost.
Negotiation, mediation and court: Most matters settle before a hearing. Where that is not possible, the same partner who assessed the case runs it.
Across our disputes work the average time from instruction to resolution is 21 days. Costs are capped in writing for each stage.
Our team
Six senior lawyers. The one you meet on day one stays on your matter to the end.
Testimonials
Northgate quoted our shareholder agreement in writing before they started. The final bill matched it.

A supplier dispute had dragged on for a year. Northgate settled it in six weeks, without a court date.
Tom Vidal
Owner, logistics company
The same partner handled our lease, our fundraise and our acquisition. Northgate never passed us down the line.

CEO, manufacturing group
Our Series A closed on time because Northgate turned every document round the same day.
