For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK, legal disputes can feel like an uphill battle—costly, time-consuming, and disruptive. Whether you’re facing a contract breach, shareholder disagreement, employment tribunal, or IP infringement, unresolved conflicts risk your bottom line and business continuity.

At NA Law Solicitors, our litigation solicitors for SMEs provide clear, strategic advice and strong representation. With mastery of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) and extensive experience in dispute resolution, we help you protect your business interests quickly and cost-effectively.

Why SME Litigation Matters

Litigation is more than a courtroom battle — it’s about safeguarding your operations, finances, and reputation.

Common disputes faced by SMEs include:

• Contract Breaches: e.g., a supplier fails to deliver, costing your business thousands in lost sales.

• Commercial Conflicts: e.g., profit-share disagreements between business partners.

• Employment Disputes: e.g., wrongful dismissal or discrimination claims threatening brand reputation.

• IP Infringement: e.g., competitors copying your branding and stealing market share.

Key Litigation Challenges for SMEs

• Unpredictable Costs: Legal disputes can quickly spiral beyond £20,000–£50,000 without clear fee structures.

• Time Constraints: Gathering evidence, meeting CPR deadlines, and court appearances divert your focus from growth.

• Adversarial Risks: Losing can result in paying both your and the opponent’s legal costs.

• Complex Procedures: Missing key CPR deadlines (such as filing a defence within 28 days) could result in losing by default.

We tackle these challenges with cost transparency, strategic planning, and proactive dispute management.
