Commercial Litigation Lawyers

Litigation can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive. That’s why it is essential to understand the strength of your claim or defence before taking the next step. A careful merits assessment allows you to make informed decisions, weigh up the risks, and prepare a strategy that protects your business.

Courts expect parties to follow the pre-action protocol before issuing proceedings. This includes sending or responding to a Letter of Claim (or Letter Before Action), retaining relevant documents, and exploring settlement. Failure to comply can lead to cost penalties, wasted time, and a weaker position in court.

Loch guides clients through this process, advising on the merits of their position, drafting compliant correspondence, and preparing the groundwork for litigation if settlement is not possible. We assist with document retention, drafting particulars of claim or defence, and guiding you through disclosure and witness statements.

Unlike many firms, we also have in-house solicitor advocates and a trusted team of external counsel who work alongside us. This means we can provide consistent advocacy support – whether at interim hearings, applications, or full trial, ensuring continuity, expertise, and confidence all the way through your case.
