Corporate and Commercial Litigation
RBS’ Corporate and Commercial Litigation team has considerable experience and expertise in resolving business disputes. Our lawyers take the time to develop an understanding of our clients’ business and strategic objectives to provide effective, efficient and practical representation.
We act for organizations of all sizes: from large public and private corporations, institutions, partnerships and not-for-profits to small and mid-sized ventures and family-run operations.
Our litigators advise on a variety of corporate and commercial disputes involving:
- Business acquisitions
- Class actions
- Confidentiality clauses
- Contracts
- Corporate governance
- Directors and officers liability
- Fiduciary duties
- Franchise and distribution agreements
- Intellectual property
- Joint ventures
- Partnerships
- Proprietary rights and restrictions
- Purchase and sale agreements
- Restrictive covenants, including non-solicitation or non-competition provisions in business and employment contracts
- Shareholder rights and disputes
To assist our clients in meeting their objectives, our litigators work closely with the solicitors in our real estate, corporate, wealth preservation, intellectual property and insolvency practice groups, as well as with our clients’ professional advisors. We know from experience that early intervention and comprehensive advice minimizes risks and best positions clients to salvage a transaction, protect business and proprietary interests, recover substantial damages or avoid significant losses.
