Commercial disputes in Dorset
Business disputes and debt recovery without delay.
Unpaid invoices and contract conflicts can put immediate pressure on cash flow. Tim's Barristers helps small businesses in Bournemouth, Poole, Hamworthy and across Dorset decide what to do next.
Unpaid invoices
Recover money while keeping the next step clear.
Debt recovery starts with the facts. We identify what is owed, check the agreement and set out a proportionate route forward.
01
Check the debt and agreement
We review invoices, purchase orders, delivery records and the terms that set the payment date.
02
Send a precise demand
A clear letter can set out the sum due, interest position and the response required under the pre-action process.
03
Choose settlement or proceedings
If payment does not follow, we explain the court route, likely costs, evidence and timetable before you commit.
Contract disputes
Know what a breach means for your business.
A missed deadline, defective work or failed payment can affect more than one invoice. The written terms and the surrounding evidence need to be read together.
We assess the issue
Tim's Barristers reviews the contract, amendments, emails and records of loss. You receive plain advice on whether the facts support a claim or defence.
Then we map the remedy
- Negotiate a workable correction or payment plan.
- Prepare for mediation when a commercial outcome is still possible.
- Plan litigation where the value and evidence justify it.
Business relationships
Partnership and shareholder disagreements need a controlled response.
Arguments over exits, voting, profits or directors' duties can damage a trading business quickly. A measured first step often keeps options open.
Partnership disputes
We examine the partnership agreement, contributions, profit-sharing terms and any exit provision. The aim is a clear route through deadlock or separation.
Talk about a partnership disputeShareholder conflicts
We help you understand voting rights, information rights, directors' duties and the practical effect of a proposed decision.
Discuss a shareholder issueRoute planning
Choose the response that fits the dispute.
A strong case still needs a sensible commercial plan. We set out the likely cost, timetable, evidence and effect on your business before the route is chosen.
Negotiation
Useful when both sides need an answer quickly and the relationship may continue. We keep the discussion focused on terms and outcomes.
Mediation and settlement
A structured settlement conversation can resolve issues that would become expensive and distracting in formal proceedings.
Commercial litigation
When court action is justified, we help prepare claim documents, witness evidence and the material needed for each stage.
Urgent dispute support
A deadline, notice or payment problem needs a prompt review.
Tell us what has happened, what date matters and what documents you hold. Early advice can help protect your position before a response is due.
