Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Commercial Litigation

At Ronald Fletcher Baker LLP, our Commercial Litigation team is known for resolving complex business disputes with clarity, agility, and technical excellence. Whether acting for multinational corporations, SMEs, or private clients, we offer strategic support at every stage of the litigation lifecycle—from pre-action advice to trial and appeal. Our commercial litigators are frequently instructed in a wide variety of commercial disputes, including contract disputes, shareholder disputes, and partnership disputes, all of which require both legal precision and commercial understanding. 

We understand that legal disputes can be disruptive to your business operations and reputation. That’s why our focus is always on resolving matters quickly and efficiently, whether through robust negotiation or, when necessary, decisive legal action. Our clients rely on us for tactical, forward-thinking advice that mitigates risk while pursuing the best possible outcome. 

We are experienced in resolving matters through Alternative Dispute Resolution, including mediation and arbitration, where such routes align better with our client’s objectives. These methods often offer faster, more cost-effective resolutions while preserving business relationships. 

In addition to mainstream commercial litigation, we regularly act in specialist areas such as professional negligence, insolvency, emergency injunctions, collective claims, and judicial review. Our strength lies in understanding the broader commercial context, allowing us to deliver outcomes that support our clients’ strategic goals—not just legal victories. 

Our firm’s legacy in commercial litigation spans more than 75 years. We’ve built our reputation on technical excellence, client dedication, and results that speak for themselves. Whether you’re facing a dispute over commercial contracts, internal governance issues, or reputational threats, RFB Legal is your trusted litigation partner, delivering legal solutions tailored to your business. 

Our ‘exceptionally talented’ and ‘responsive and strategic’ Commercial Litigation department has an established track record of success in even the most complex cases. Litigation has been a focus of the firm since its inception in 1948, and our highly experienced team is widely recognised for its skill in this area. 

We understand that the stakes can be high in any commercial dispute. Our team is experienced in providing smart, tactical solutions that enable us to resolve disputes at the earliest opportunity, while ensuring our clients’ interests are always protected. 

We represent individuals, institutions, and companies in all stages of litigation and alternative dispute resolution. Our work often involves acting in high-quality commercial and corporate disputes, many with a cross-border or multi-jurisdictional element. 

Our team has unrivalled technical knowledge, strategic insight, and practical experience in conducting complex litigation at all levels. We are often instructed on disputes and litigation relating to contracts, shareholder and partnership agreements, insolvency, and collective claims/class actions. We can also advise in specialist areas such as higher education litigation, art law disputes, charity litigation, judicial review proceedings, and international sanctions. 

We work collaboratively with our clients to provide a tailored approach with a focus on identifying key issues at an early stage. We pride ourselves on devising and implementing strategic yet pragmatic solutions to achieve our clients’ goals and draw a swift conclusion to any dispute.
