About This Course

Commercial contract disputes require more than a thorough understanding of contract law—they demand strategic decision-making from the moment a dispute arises through to trial or settlement. Whether involving breach of contract, business torts, failed commercial relationships, or contractual performance issues, effective litigation requires counsel to evaluate legal risk, preserve key evidence, develop persuasive claims and defenses, and align litigation strategy with the client's commercial objectives. Early decisions often determine the trajectory and outcome of the dispute.

This session provides a practical examination of the commercial litigation process, focusing on the strategic considerations that arise from the initial breach through to judgment or negotiated resolution. Participants will explore case assessment, contractual interpretation, evidentiary issues, interim remedies, damages, settlement strategy, and trial preparation, gaining practical guidance on effectively representing clients in complex commercial contract disputes.

  • Early case assessment and litigation strategy
  • Contract interpretation and breach analysis
