A trade supplier came to us after facing a serious dispute that disrupted their day-to-day business. Our team acted quickly to resolve the issue and help the company get back on track with confidence.
The problem
Our client rented their business premises under a commercial lease. When the landlord suddenly tried to increase the rent, the client refused to agree to the new terms. In response, the landlord blocked access to the property, preventing the business from operating and putting jobs and contracts at risk.
How we helped
The situation needed urgent action. Our Dispute Resolution and Litigation team assessed the problem straight away and created a clear plan to protect our client’s rights. We kept our client updated at every stage, explaining everything in straightforward terms.
We sent a formal letter before action to the landlord, setting out the legal position and demanding that access be restored by a set deadline. The landlord then took legal advice and agreed to let our client back onto the premises. This allowed the business to recover its equipment and continue trading without further disruption.
The result
Our quick and practical approach helped the client resolve the dispute efficiently and avoid costly court proceedings. They were extremely grateful for our support and the clear, honest advice we provided throughout.
