Protecting Your Interests In Disputes And Commercial Litigation
Given enough time, the day-to-day operation of a business can often lead to disputes, which sometimes erupt into costly lawsuits. Whether another party has failed to fulfil their contractual obligations with regard to contracts, leases, employment, or other commercial issues, or has accused you of doing so, disputes draw your time and energy away from the focus of your business.
We understand how disruptive, distracting and worrisome court matters can be. The stakes are often very high, and the future of your business may be uncertain. Having never been through it before, most people have little or no knowledge of how litigation works and the unfamiliarity of the process can be quite daunting. Recognising this, Birch Partners is committed to helping you understand the process, and supporting you and your business through what can be a very difficult time.
Litigation is an unpleasant process that carries certain risks, but at the same time, commercial litigation may be the only way to protect your business interests and to help your business stay competitive.
Commercial litigation can be an effective tool in achieving a business goal, but is usually a costly endeavour. With this in mind, Birch Partners does not promote unnecessary commercial litigation. Taking a strategic and proactive approach to commercial litigation, the first action we will take is to determine if a resolution of the dispute is possible without litigation. Our goal is to help you achieve resolution as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, and in many cases, our ability to come up with innovative solutions allows us to resolve issues without resorting to litigation. In instances where a resolution cannot be reached and litigation becomes necessary or unavoidable, we will aggressively pursue your claim and vigorously defend your interests.
Problems rarely just go away, and without an appropriate strategy, your business dispute will escalate. Contact us immediatelyif you have an issue, because timely advice can save you time and money.
We will promptly assess your matter and provide you with:
- A clear statement of your rights and responsibilities
- Your prospect of success
- An estimate of costs

Well drafted contracts are critical to the protection of any business. Our strength in litigation contributes greatly to our ability to draft your commercial contracts and agreements. We can draft agreements that make sure your legal rights are protected, along with vendor contracts, purchase agreements and sales agreements that protect your commercial interests.
Before you enter into any commercial contract with another company or individual, gain peace of mind by having Birch Partners review the agreement to ensure that it protects your interests and allows you to achieve your business objectives.
Protecting Your Interests Through Employee Transitions
Ensure that your confidential business information is protected when key employees move on by having Birch Partners draft employee non-disclosure and non-compete agreements that protect against use or disclosure of your proprietary information and trade secrets.
