About My Commercial Lawyers
My Commercial Lawyers helps UK businesses understand where they stand before taking the next step on a commercial or construction dispute.

Clear advice before you act
A dispute can affect payment, projects, trading relationships and the time you have to run your business. You may already have tried to resolve the issue yourself. You may have sent emails, chased payment, checked the contract or spoken to the other party.
The problem is often not knowing what to do next.
You may be asking:
Where do we stand?
What does the contract mean?
Is this worth pursuing?
Should we negotiate or take formal action?
What evidence do we need?
What will the next instruction involve?
What will it cost?
My Commercial Lawyers starts by reviewing the issue rather than assuming which legal route should be used.
How My Commercial Lawyers approaches disputes
1
Clarify the issue
The team reviews what has happened, who is involved and what outcome you are trying to achieve.
This may include identifying:
- The main point of dispute
- The relevant agreement or contract
- The money or commercial interest at stake
- What each party says happened
- What action has already been taken
- What result you are seeking
2
Review the facts, contract and evidence
The position is reviewed using the documents and information available.
This may include contracts, invoices, notices, emails, payment records, claim documents and other supporting evidence.
A clear timeline can also help explain what happened and when.
3
Review the available options
The possible next step depends on the dispute.
It may involve negotiation, a formal response, debt recovery, adjudication, settlement, litigation or another suitable route.
The legal route should support the commercial objective.
4
Make the next step clear
If the matter is suitable, the proposed instruction is scoped before work begins.
You should understand what work will be completed, what information is needed and what the instruction will cost.

A clear enquiry process
The enquiry process is designed to help the team understand the dispute before confirming whether the matter is suitable.
1. Complete the website form
Share the main issue, the parties involved and what you want to achieve.
2. Join your Trello matter board
After submitting the form, follow the instructions to download Trello and join the matter board created for your enquiry.
The board gives you one place to provide the facts, documents and updates.
3. Upload the key documents
Share the contract, emails, notices, invoices, payment records, drawings, specifications, project records and any evidence linked to the dispute.
4. The team reviews suitability
The facts, contract and evidence are reviewed.
The team also considers whether there is a clear commercial reason to proceed and whether the firm is suitable for the matter.
5. The next instruction is confirmed
If the matter is suitable, the proposed next step, fixed instruction fee, client care letter and invoice are arranged before work begins.
You can find out whether your matter fits before committing to the next instruction.
Fixed instruction fees
My Commercial Lawyers works on a fixed instruction fee basis.
The scope and fee for each instruction are confirmed before that instruction begins.
A dispute may involve more than one instruction. For example, reviewing the evidence, preparing a formal response and taking litigation steps may be scoped separately.
This does not mean the whole matter has one fixed fee.
You should know what the relevant instruction includes and what it will cost before the work begins.
