Becket Chambers Contract and Commercial Law barristers offer expert advice and representation and have particular experience of resolving disputes either through litigation, arbitration or alternative ways of resolving disputes.

In Civil Law, we aim where possible to help you avoid disputes in the first place, and our Contract Law barristers are here to advise you on a course of action to help a dispute from developing. If you are concerned about a potential dispute, we can often help you prevent it from happening through careful planning, drafting and specialist advice. We regularly represent clients dealing with issues such as breach of contract, non-payment of invoices, fraud and building disputes.

We understand that many clients are concerned about the potential cost of pursuing a case. We pride ourselves on providing an excellent value service, and our Clerks will happily discuss fees with you before you make a decision about instructing us.

Our barristers’ contract and commercial law specialisms include:

Building Disputes – we will advise you and act on your behalf in disputes relating to building construction or conveyancing disputes, rent and lease renewals and dilapidations
Breach of Contract – we can act for you whether you are the claimant or defendant in cases involving non-payment of fees, termination of contract or claims resulting from defective work
Fraud – Fraud issues can encompass either civil or criminal investigations and our barristers’ experience spans all areas of practice. We can advise you of the likely outcome of your case and act for you on a number of matters relating to both civil and corporate fraud, in particular issues relating to the 2007 Money Laundering Regulations
Misrepresentation – if you are involved in a situation where you believe that false or fraudulent assertions have been made to you either negligently or non-negligently, or where someone else has made those allegations against you or your business, we can advise and represent you at all stages
Specific Performance – this is a discretionary remedy ordered by a court which requires one party in a civil case to fulfil their contractual obligation to another. It is usually ordered where damages would be inadequate or inappropriate. The Becket Chambers Civil Law team is experienced at dealing with cases where this remedy applies
