Commercial legal advice for complex contracts and disputes

Altham Advisory advises businesses on commercial agreements and the disputes arising from them. We examine the detail, establish the legal and commercial position and advise on the steps that serve your objectives.

Close attention to matters that carry weight

A contract can shape how a business earns, operates and exits a relationship. A dispute can put payment, control or a project at risk. Both require advice grounded in the documents and in what is commercially at stake.

We take on a limited number of matters, giving each the time and attention it requires. You work directly with the advisers responsible for understanding your position and developing the response.

Contracts

We draft, review and negotiate commercial agreements and advise on how to use them in practice. Our work addresses the allocation of risk, the obligations that must be performed and the mechanisms available when circumstances change.

Disputes

We assess claims and responses, reconstruct the evidence and develop a strategy for resolution. We advise through negotiation and represent businesses in mediation, adjudication, arbitration and expert determination, where the applicable rules permit.

An adviser who knows your matter

We take time to understand the commercial objective behind an instruction. Our advice sets out the material risks, the available options and our recommendation, with candid guidance where the evidence or economics do not support the proposed course.
