Breach of Contract Disputes.

Else Solicitors are experts at writing strong agreements and resolving contract disputes, both inside and outside the courtroom.

Contracts form the basis of most agreements in business. Employment, major purchases, supply of goods and services are all covered by contracts.

Ensuring that contracts are clear and unambiguous is the first step in ensuring that your business is protected if something goes wrong. If agreed terms are not met, or a serious financial issue arises, a correctly drafted contract makes it easier for the injured party to seek redress.

Verbal contracts are also covered by the law, and terms of a contract can be expressed or implied. The many and varied facets of contractual law means that at some stage your business could become involved in a dispute.

How can we help?

``Despite my changes in employers, I have worked with Else Solicitors for over 15 years. Their Insolvency and litigation knowledge, expertise and professionalism has been excellent on every occasion. Their advice is always specific to the case, and where necessary they will adopt a commercial approach in dealing with matters, which at times are complex in nature. This has enabled matters to be dealt with swiftly and more importantly in the interest of the creditor’s.``

With the support from ELSE we successfully recovered the money in full & quicker than expected. More recently we got involved in the takeover of a company that went into administration. We needed a wide range of legal & commercial help on the purchase from the administrators & subsequently on many other issues, including new company setup, employment law, TUPE, redundancy, lease contracts for premises & much more. We have been very satisfied with the professional support we have received, trust the advice ELSE give us & continue to use their wide range of services.``
